Tongolo Akani Mutsobo from Khayeka is a medicine man living on the edge of kakamega forest. A part of Kenya that is green all year. He has inherited seven widows. The costumes are closely related to what they used to wear after the coming of the colonialists. The ‘weeping stone’ in the background is the most idolized monument of the tribe.
