I am not sure there is any Benga artists today who can tell a story as well as Osito Kalle…..his poetry comes very close to DO Misiani, with the major difference being that Owino was quite political while Osito Kalle excels in social commentary ….mostly about how the Luo’s live their daily lives…..In this track Osito Kalle tells a story like no other ...he talks about the death of his spouse and the drama that unfolded as they transported the body to its final resting place....the imagery is stark and poignant….for those who are familiar with the Luo funerals, osito transports you to a ‘live’ one…please experience it…for non-Luo speakers, just enjoy the guitar licks….
