In this video, we are going to see his Sister's Traditional Wedding,  RURACIO * AFRIKAN TRAVELLER* 


Ruracio in Kenyan Kikuyu culture simply refers to Negotiation and Payment of the Dowry or Bride price.
The women on “both sides”, that is, both families start singing with each group trying to outdo the other. They eventually end up singing together with joy. 

The guests are then welcomed in and served food to eat.

In a case where the Ruracio is a combined with the Kuhanda Ithigi, the groom’s family will then proceed to state their intentions.

He is then faced with the task of confirming that the woman he seeks is in that home.

This is the fun part, where the bride’s family veils different ladies with shukas or wrappers for him to identify.

He needs to identify his bride.

And hopefully he gets it right!

So we move to the business of the day.

The lady after being selected is then taken back into her room,  before which she would have been invited to give her blessings for the negotiations and Dowry payments to begin in another room.

These negotiations go on inside while guests are entertained with music outside.


It is the last stage in the Kikuyu Traditional wedding ceremony
