ABOUT
LUO DHOLUO TRADITIONAL CULTURAL CUSTOMS DANCERS EVENTS
Recreation: music, games, and enjoyment
The Luo have unique traditional music that plays a functional role in their lives. Traditional musical instruments include drums, rattles, horns, the Abu and stringed instruments like the Nyatiti. They play music at all important events. During funerals, Luo music is played to pay tribute to the deceased as well as consoling the family. Traditionally, diviners and medicine men also used music to invoke rain, chase away evil spirits and heal the sick.
