Description
I have always found it totally intriguing that there would be a tribe in Kenya who wouild identify with cowboyism so much. The kikuyu tribe love being like cowboys. I actually believe that every kikiyu adult man has tried out cowbow outfit at one point, expecially the cowboy hat.
They also love playing country music just like real cowboys. They ape people like Don Williams, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Hank Williams Jr and so many others
It has been so serious that known musicians have sang famous western country music in their own mother toungue and made them sound so much like the real song apart from the language!
The Kenya cowboy can never be mistaken for the American Cowboy, The kenyan cowbow is more a fashion and music thing than an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America, traditionally on horseback. The kenya cowbow could have a motorbike maybe, but you won’t find him on horseback!
To All Kenyan Cowboys, I respect you a lot brothers; there is nothing wrong in wishing to be like other people from other cultures as long as you are enjoying it and causing no harm to anyone. Long live the Kenyan Cowboys!!
