The kifudu dance as political resistance — are there modern equivalents?
Cultural Practice

Mekatilili used the traditional kifudu dance to mobilize resistance against the British. Music and dance as tools of political protest have a long history in Africa. What are the modern equivalents? How do Kenyan communities use cultural expression for political mobilization today? I'm thinking of how songs and social media serve similar functions. Let's discuss the continuity of cultural resistance from Mekatilili's time to ours.
