Kisii musician Embarambamba has sparked widespread reactions online after mourning the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga in his trademark dramatic style.
In a now-viral video, the controversial artist is seen rolling in the soil, splashing himself with muddy water, and throwing himself against a wall a display that left many both amused and bewildered.
Embarambamba’s performance, though unconventional, appeared to express his deep sorrow over the passing of the veteran opposition leader, who has been a towering figure in Kenyan politics for decades.
His actions have since ignited mixed reactions among Kenyans online, with some describing the display as a heartfelt expression of grief, while others dismissed it as unnecessary theatrics.
