"The two-day Rusinga Annual Cultural Festival in Kenya celebrated the rich heritage of the Abasuba people, drawing residents and international visitors to the celebration. The festival seeks to preserve and revive Suba culture, language, and traditions that are under threat, highlighting a legacy passed down through generations. Footage shows Burundi Dramas performing traditional dances with drums held high, while attendees engage in the Oluko game and sample Suba cuisine - a living testament to a culture determined to endure. "It has been celebrated for 14 years today. And it is always bringing us together to remember our culture as Luos," an attendee said. "Our new generation has to know what is being done in our generation." "The elders are the custodians of our culture. And for that reason, they are very integral wherever we are doing these cultural activities," another attendee added. Visitors at the Rusinga Annual Cultural Festival also immersed themselves in the living traditions of the Abasuba people, enjoying rhythmic dances that tell ancestral stories and exhibitions of handmade crafts and artefacts. George Otieno said, "If we preserve the Suba language, it will give a future generation their identity as Suba." The Suba culture, belonging to the Abasuba people, is one of Kenya's most distinctive and enduring cultural identities. Concentrated on Rusinga and Mfangano islands in Lake Victoria, as well as parts of Homa Bay and Migori on the mainland, the Abasuba are often described as the country's 'last tribe' to settle in Kenya. Although their language is considered endangered, the Abasuba have preserved a distinct ethnic identity despite significant influence from the neighbouring Luo community."
