Description
Two versions of the song, sung on the same day and at the same place but with different leaders. The first version is unaccompanied and the second is accompanied by a Chepkongo lyre. Katuiyo was the name of the man who introduced this kind of dancing. His name also means a 'meeting place' and the lyric includes the names of various boys and girls who have met each other at the dance. This happy coincidence is made use of in friends greeting each other at the dance.
