Actually this is a good idea...why don't you try something like this in all kenyan communities...i mean you try to experience the different cultures in kenya
Great to see an African American enjoying the countryside in the motherland. The food looks delicious.
Girl,you forgot to mention that the chicken is 'kienyeji'😋,not the same with the one from the groceries
You're right!

I AM PROUD OF YOU MY BROTHER........... make us proud in America
In the Kikuyu/Kenyan culture, the dowry or bride price is not a fixed amount. Instead, the parents or elders from the girl's side take various factors into consideration before determining the "quote." These factors can include the girl's level of education and background, etc. Some men even have to sell assets, such as parcels of land, in order to fulfill the dowry payment. As mentioned by my namesake Njeri who you hosted in your video (or who hosted you in her village home), the payment of dowry is seen as a symbol of appreciation towards the girl's family. In some cultures, it is believed that dowry payment is an ongoing process, as the husband will continue to provide occasional gifts to the girl's family over time to express ongoing gratitude.
In addition to the customary distribution of food among family members, there is a traditional practice regarding who gets to partake in specific portions. Typically, the man of the house or the eldest male individual is given the choicest piece, which is often the most fleshy one. Furthermore, gizzards are specifically reserved for the men. It is believed by some communities that consuming gizzards can potentially enhance their libido. 🤷♀
I'm Luhya married to a uo girl and it's only Luos who don't put a price to their daughters when it comes to dowry, regardless of education level. They leave it to you to figure out and they ultimately receive what you provide.
@HappeningInKenya interesting..
@HappeningInKenya💯 true
In Kikuyu culture, it's s 100 goats for DOWRY (but reduced to 99 because Kikuyus view even numbers as bad omen in matters culture. However, you're not required to pay it all at once, Kikuyu dowry is a lifetime venture. You pay the 99 goats in bits. Since nowadays people don't keep a lot of goats, you can just pay two of the most important goats in form of livestock but the rest can be quantified in terms of money. The alcohol she mentioned is referred to as MURATINA, made ritually using honey, sugarcane, and the sacred plant that Kikuyus call "muratina".
When a boy is born, women ululate 5 times, but for a girl its 4 times. Each time has a cultural meaning and blessing attached to it. The first 4 are similar for both boys and girls. The fifth one for the boy signifies COURAGE/BRAVERY, which a man should have.
First time here, love it. I heard about your Channel while watching you being interviewed by a beautiful lady from Ghana, where you were telling her about your journey from the US to Kenya. Great content my brother. I am Jamaican living in Toronto. Been to Kenya twice and love it! For sure my home will be Jamaica and Kenya.
@Sherriekibugi chatty and is so polite. This is nice
You are passionate to learn the African culture... That's why i love watching your videos keep up king musa 👏👏👏
Thank you, I will 🫡
😅😅 finally you are adapting slowly keep it up bro🔥🔥🔥💪💪
She was feeling you Musa, just look at the way she was looking at you😊
I actually stopped eating chicken for a couple of years after seeing a feather on a fried chicken wing at KFC. I was taught how to cut up a chicken as a child; it was bought at the store, but it still had blood and gizzards/livers inside (thanks for teaching me mom!), she grew up in the country and this was normal to them. I'm meal-prepping for the week; I can't imagine not knowing how to cook for myself; especially with all the poisonous boxed food out here now. This is amazing content, Bro. M.! Thank you for educating us, Sherri!
That's kienyeji (organic☺️) chicken 🍗 is abit hard compared to city ones (broilers) but very healthy...and takes longer to cook
Thanks for the info‼️
Tastes better
I discovered using a pressure cooker really softens the toughest kienyejis! 😁
Amazing content bro.. You are reliving your ancestry. I am proud of you.
I mean. I’m less than 5 minutes in and I need to hear a voice like that, the teasing and sweetness and conversation and feminine perfection all the days of my life. Wake up at 4am to get our world started? Milk cows and care for the tribe. SIGN ME UP!
With you being from Philly, you might to visit FreeTown, Sierra Leone as well. Just to visit. Most ppl in Philly has a grandparent/ancestor who moved from South Carolina and told to keep quiet about the Gullah or Gullah geechee culture / language when moving up north.
Many Gullah people moved to Philly but during slavery, the British helped moved more Gullah people to “Freetown” where they was finally free and they took that Gullah language x Jamaican language and renamed it Gullah.
Ask your fam is you have an ancestor from South Carolina who was told to come to philly or surrounding areas
You are Deffo on the right track, this is the stuff we want to see.
Female circumcision is all about policing female sexuality. It is practiced by only a few tribes in Kenya, and some other communities in Northern Africa.. Also I feel that she did not explain a lot of things clearly. She assumed that you were familiar with those things. She mentioned a game called “Kati”; it’s like Kenyan dodgeball. “Bano” is a game played using colourful marbles.
It's good you're enjoying the culture and you're learning swahili as well.
Mfalme I’ve seen your Swahili is getting better
Kidogo kidogo 🙏🏾
She's so calm.. Great video maahn. It is good to see you embracing the culture ma G
The sista represented our Kikuyu culture quite well and she looks amazing. Good to see you @Mfalme Musa going out on a limb to give us varied content. Kenya has about 45 different tribes each with it's own culture including language. Largely speaking, the different tribes are grouped within three categories - Bantu, Nilote and Cushite with Bantu being the majority and which Kikuyu is a part of. Good stuff!
Thankyou Alex i appreciate it
@@sherriekibugi Which village is that? Which county and constituency?
haha ngari is everywhere on youtube comments,do you have a channel
@@jacksongikaria5780 You must be everywhere as well if you find me everywhere 🤣🤣🤣. I don't have one, I'm just a consumer of vlogs! 🤣🤣🤣
Ati kikuyu ...hell which culture ?
She is so we'll articulated😀
I love it
Keep up the good job 😅
This video was very informative. I love this content. Great work!! Thank you!!❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good job broh! I can eat the chicken but can't kill it. You definitely earned that meal!
😂😂😂😂
Surely a Mfalme.... Musa you are doing a good job... Great video.... Waiting for more videos from you.... One Africa.... And the lady she is humble... I like her....
Thankyou
🙏🏾
That village looks green it's not like the villages we see in the media dry, dusty, flies... Etc.
What the media portrays about Africa versus the actual situation = Day vs Night. Your media has lied to you for decades...Thank God for the internet!
She put you to work🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥love this content
Forreal 😂
MUSAAAAAAA MYY GUY YOU ARE SO FUNNY ! I loved your episodes. You be cracking me up !
This wonderful...i always love watching your content❤..say hey to Mumbi there.. she's amazing❤
Appreciate you musa
Likewise Dennis 🤝🏾
Mfalme musa dropping gems like always. Learnt some new stuff great content guys.
Petite and curvy, sweet and seductive Kenyan women are just beautiful ama be going to sherries channel Asap!
Welcome!!
Thankyou❤
Nice video and info. You guys are really embracing your new life in Kenya. Enjoy!!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@mfalmemusa karibu kaka.
I like that. Americanised but african.
Ok been awhile since you uploaded a video
I enjoyed the content
In American cities they eat industrially raised hormone injected chicken. This is real organic stuff Musa..You raise it, slaughter & eat it.. While living in Maryland we got our goat slaughtered in Pennsylvania farms...Farmland Mzungus know how to slaugher goats & chicken..
Anyone farming not just mzungus 😂😂😂
Mfalume and Sherri this was fire 🔥😍👌 from beginning to finish!!! Enjoyed everything. Keep bringing us various videos - like your content as it's different from the usual. You looked great 👍. Look forward to more collabs. Asante sana!
Keep up the good work my brother. I am sure you are eating organic and fresh foods. Also you are getting a lot of love. Your contents are amazing.
I appreciate you 🤝🏾
Mad respect mfalme, I salute
🫡
Actually, traditionally you pray for animals before slaughter. But with commercial farming, that tradition is lost. Muslims pray for the soul of the animal, and generally in Kenya, all meat for public sale is halal. Pork is handled with a different license
Traditional. A man helping with the cooking.. watoto wa siku hizi😂😂
You never cooked your own meal 🤦🏾♂️
Wacha siasa.
African American in Arizona... She's beautiful. 😍
A nice one. You are a real Kenyan
🇰🇪 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Keep up the good work
Mr Musa your contents are are always nice, wonderful and very unique i love them, even though you normally take long before posting something new it's always worth the wait. You asked the lady about dowry payment but she didn't answer you well here's the answer, if your well off(moneywise) you can pay from 100k to 1M Ksh, if not well off between 50 to 100k or according to what her parent will agree with your parents.
Thanks for the info David! Tune in Wednesday 🫡
@@mfalmemusa I will brother, have a wonderful time
Wow Mfalme....Officially a Kenyan village boy.......Def subscribing to Sheri
Thank you
@@sherriekibugi But my God, you are so beautiful it should be illegal to look that good🤗
@@hoverboyagree!!!
This is cool king 🤩🥰
Even in the rural areas, we no longer use calabashes or dress like the Kikuyu lady is dressed. But the show is good for remembering our culture of the past.
Speak for yourself
am thinking i should do calabashes, nyungu's and the likes for my 2023 kitchen
@NdungeDiaries you should! Send me pics and vids 🫠
@@mfalmemusa okay 👍🏾. I was honestly not expecting a reply

What a great content Mfalme, mad respect to you Bro, and that gal woo, she's damn fine her voice is really killing me, wallahi am still dead🤩av even subscribed to her channel ASAP😂
😅😅😅
Good job king
King Musaaa you are a real African Man
Real African man does not cook, stop faking African tradition
I know ❤
Amazíng content
Mercy, I’m glad you enjoyed it‼️
@@mfalmemusa I have already subscribed.Stay connected
Wow who’s your friend Musa 😍
I learned a lot about my own tribe as well. I didn’t know these things. Love it !
Wooow Leo ni Ile siku waiting for this mukimo Na kuku 🍗🐔 and uji Musa is a first learner
So cool
Appreciate you
Noooooo young girl, your husband will not pay the same amount your dad payed, Yes, all men pay 99 goats+1(kenda muiyuru) but not the same value of money. For example,my dad payed 5ksh per goat (100 ×5) when she was marrying my mum but my brother in-law paid 4,000(4,000 × 100) per goat last year. Its only the number of animals that doesn't change.
The king😂!
Ikr
Local chicken🥂
OH MY GOD!
Wow a hundred goats
You can have more than 1 wife in the promised land my brother! 🤣
Yea that’s a BIG NO for us but Asante for the comment 🙏🏾
@@Dolledupandthangs 😊 dont worry you safe,,Polygamy was very dominant in the past ,,Nowadays with woman empowerment, feminists and all that shit,,Aint no Nigga marrying two wives🤣🤣 Continue enjoying your stay in Kenya though, I really enjoy your content and Musa's
😂😂😂
@AbaKuria Don't start that Polygamy crap with us. It is not good!! I have lived in the Middle East where Polygamy is practiced and I have followed many African Muslims who practiced this. The Prophet said, one is best for you. That was Prophet Muhammad(PBUH). HE WAS SPEAKING TO THE MUSLIMS WHO WERE LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC AMOUNT!! However, I have known Christian Africans who had 10 wives and 120 children!!! 😢It was a mess and the man left a BIG MESS when he died. I know it was a joke, but I'm just saying. There are many men who think that multiple wives is a paradise😂It can be a living hell😢
@@Dolledupandthangsdon't worry about this comment because polygamy is not common in Kenya (like only 5% of Kenyan men are in polygamous married, most prefer one woman), this culture is alot common in other parts of Africa especially North and West African countries so don't worry about your dear Mfalme Musa being influenced here in Kenya
Mfalme i need to introduce you to the real kikuyu culture practice.the way of real culture practice.are you ready 😊
I’m ready 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Musa pluck that chicken real quick
Ayooooo 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is a true Kenyan village. The dressing is, however, West African.
West African???
Lol. West African how,? Where?
That's how traditionally we dress even in Gusii.
Thanks for not showing the slaughter, i cant take it
Road to 10k
🚀🚀🚀
That Roaster scared Musa😂😂😂.
You ain’t lie Samuel 😂🤣😂
Am looking for a gourd .Where can i buy one or 2?
Masai market in Nairobi.
We make them and sell them in my vill
Just say the size you want
nice
Thanks 🙏🏾
👍
I LIKE THIS MUSA
Appreciate you Kennedy 🤝🏾
Why didn't you show the slaughtering part 😢😢
𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 💪
🫡
Really dude 😂
Like be for real 😂😂😂
Careful with this chic, she is not your typical village girl, she seems to know alot stuff, I sense she is living a double life because she gives this strong black airforce vibe as if she grew up in the centre of Nairobi aka Kanairo where its dog eats dog.
A lot of city Africans including politicians and ceos and those who left for overseas were raised in villages and only left in search of jobs/higher studies. This young woman grew up in decentralized Kenya 🇰🇪 (since 2010 - 13 years ago) when even people living outside Nairobi were able to access similar services and goods albeit on a smaller scale. All counties (parts of the country) have universities, malls, schools, etc so don't need to be raised in Nairobbery to be woke.
@@LetsTravellChannel This one is too woke bana. She knows stuff!
@@LetsTravellChannelsome counties are gems bana with all the amenities. Mwambie wasichana wazuri wamesoma huku 'ocha' wako woke
The best place to go first, my recommendation, start in the traditional,,the village..you can go in and out ..continual vists.visits.. learn the language fast. And relax.. In my village, my family has a cocoa farm.lots of bananas tree.cassava.yuga,( eddoes. yams..potatoes ..etc)..and chickens, and goat..and rice... Culture , customs, varies.. ..START FROM THE VILLAGE..PLEASE. PLEASE.PLEASE..OUR KINGS..welcome to your mother's land../ papa's land.. Come, and relax..a bit..GET AWAY FROM IT ALL """ PLEASE leave all that attitude behind.....USA nonsense.. GET the respect you deserve..and feel at home...MOST importantly, adopt a village l age mom/ dad officially. Obtain residency. Free citizen in GHANA , abs Sierra Leone.. AKWAABA
Kikuyu culture is so HEBREW
Excuse you?
That's why they are called Habiru/hebrew
How are your knees? 😅
You’re the only one who noticed 😅😂🤣😂
@mfalmemusa You did good.👍
His knees were on fire😂😂😂
@sherriekibugi 😂😅🤦🏾♂️
She is mis informed on our Gikuyu culture..5 ululations for boys, 4 for girls...
Point was boy gets more than girls, point was delivered
But she is a modern girl,she is just acting
❤❤
This is more like play acting. nobody wears or uses such utensils nowadays.
Just enjoy the video bro
Enjoy the video wacha wivu
Wacha makasiriko nani 😅
The whole point was to go to the village and make a meal the village way, not to go to the village and cook with an oven or a gas we know we have them in our villages
Sema nyinyi
Fake Kenya tradition, in real Kenyan/ African tradition no man ever cooked nor move closer to cooking area,
He just wants to learn about it
No African man ever cooked 🤦🏾♂️
He is educating people about the culture. Also at huge events, men do the heavy lifting especially ugali. Stop with the bs
@@LetsTravellChannel you are misguided, he’s talking about African culture, there is no African culture in any tribe where men cooked !!,
This is misinformation
Let him first understand slavery which I am sure he does not because of distorted slavery history where he comes from. Prior to eti educating African culture, nonsense
Wakenya, who amongst the English-speaking-girls talks and wears on normal days like this one here? And who is this man wearing like? Which tribe is this costume from coz it's like an oral narrative i stopped watching.
Stopped watching to write a 20+ word comment 😂
@@mfalmemusa how else was it supposed to happen?
@@mediacare6744 you disliked so much to write a long comment 🤦🏾♂️ but thanks for writing one… it supports the channel 🤝🏾
I watched all of it btw. So maybe next time do something real. And also get to ask about what we think of what form of what in a person who represents our collective interests.
