How was the Luhya culture included?
Although the songs were in Luhya, some members of the tribe said they had never heard of the funeral rite, while others said they had seen it.
Another group said it was common among Luhya and Luo.
The network who vowed not to allow them to try it was quickly reminded that when he was alive he could make decisions, but when he died, his funeral belonged to those who plan.

Kenyan views about the video
Mathogonolo Gabanamotse: “Even Botswana there are others doing this; Batlokwa.” Many Duncan: “Is this what they call to play in someone’s grave?”
Kollo Otieno: “They soften the soil when poured into the grave. It reduces the amount of sinking/calming that happens over time.”
Carolyne we am: “Not only do they do this I saw this in Luo too, today’s faith is.”
Risper Makokha: “I really loved my tribe and the way that the comfort of God blessed our people.”
Joseph Oyieko Obaga: “Luhya’s funeral/funeral is a celebration, a banquet, play; I will not be surprised if I see this as long as the family is the same as the ritual, then it is okay.”
