Description

This is a scene of bull fighting where mature bulls fight it out to determine who controls the heard, particularly the cows. The bull owner also takes the clan and village pride of having the powerful bull and musicians can sing praises of him. The herd is seen to the side. The location could be Nyanza, but not necessarily Luo country. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
