  • Description: This song "I go for Cherono" is about a woman who went to fetch a girl called Cherono and was met on the path. When asked what she was doing she replied "Sore cherono". This word Sore "I go for" sounds like the English word 'sorry' and now implies a double meaning, as the English word has slipped into the local language. The girls were doing a jerky little dance as they sang which is reflected in their singing. Children anywhere are usually poor subjects for recording and there are no exception. These two items are included to show how small Kipsigis girls perform Both songs show a possibility of school (foreign) influence. Topical song
