0:00 50:26

Once you see and understand the true spiritual power and meaning behind Ngemi, (ululations) you will never say or hear them the same, again. Our heritage is rich and deep. In this Episode, Waiyaki & Njeri begin with a conversation about the bigger purpose of birth and children to the Agikuyu. They then have a provocative discussion about the 5 sacred and spiritual meanings behind Ngemi (ululations.) We close with perspective on the importance of naming and how the Agikuyu named their children. Join us, enjoy and share widely.
