During a trip in 2012, we were invited to a wedding in our Kenyan friend Rose&#039;s large family circle. We were told that it would be a fairly small wedding \u2013 with only about 400 guests. For us, it was of course huge. It was a fantastic day with dancing in the church, colorful clothes, music, joy and a big party outdoors.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\"

This was where all the hundreds of guests would have room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was lunch and then the celebration continued with speeches, songs, cake, various performances and of course even more dancing.

Among other things, we remember a group of women dancing in colorful skirts with long fibers that swayed with their movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#039;t actually know what kind of dance it was, and after so many years the details have faded. But the pictures from the day remind us of how much movement and joy there was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music was a big part of our trip to Kenya. Our friends were from the Luo ethnic group and during the days we spent with them we heard a lot of the music they liked. One song that still sticks in my memory is <strong>Otieno Aloka&#039;s &quot;Kanungo Eteke&quot;\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there was a lot of talk about different ethnic groups. At that time, both we and the people around us often said \u201dtribes\u201d. We could joke about typical characteristics of one group or another, and after a while we too had started to learn the names of several of Kenya\u2019s major ethnic groups. Peter would soon benefit from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1371\" height=\"770\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1.jpg\" alt=\"br\u00f6llop i kenya 2012\" class=\"wp-image-38961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1.jpg 1371w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-i-Kenya-1-1200x674.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1371px) 100vw, 1371px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lots of fun and dancing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plotsligt_star_Peter_pa_scenen\"><\/span>Suddenly Peter stands on stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were some of the few foreign guests at the wedding and at some point the emcee decided to have Peter go up on stage. There he suddenly stood, in front of hundreds of wedding guests in his white Taracci outfit, with a microphone in front of him and questions to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did he know any of Kenya&#039;s most important ethnic groups? Yes. By then we had heard so much about the Luo, Kikuyu and other groups that he managed to pass the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then came a follow-up question: <strong>Did Peter know what ethnic group Barack Obama&#039;s Kenyan family on his father&#039;s side belonged to?<\/strong> He knew that, of course. <strong>Luo!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barack Obama&#039;s father, Barack Obama Sr., was born in Kenya and belonged to the Luo ethnic group. Since Rose and her family are also Luo, this was hardly the wrong audience to deliver the right answer to. Peter thus passed his spontaneous Kenya interrogation and was able to leave the stage with honor intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1203\" height=\"677\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1.jpg\" alt=\"Br\u00f6llop Kenya\" class=\"wp-image-47630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1.jpg 1203w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Br\u00f6llop-Kenya-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1203px) 100vw, 1203px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peter answers some questions on stage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ett_brollop_vi_fortfarande_minns\"><\/span>A wedding we still remember<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fourteen years is a long time. Now, when we go back to the wedding photographs, we realize how many details we have actually forgotten. We don&#039;t remember exactly how Rose was related to the bride and groom. We don&#039;t remember what was served for lunch or in what order everything happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But some things have stuck even more strongly. We remember the people who danced into the church. The children in their nice clothes. The parents who smiled and danced. The hundreds of festively dressed guests, the big tents, all the colors, the music and the women who danced during the party. And of course Peter, who suddenly found himself on stage and was questioned about Kenya&#039;s ethnic groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, we remember the joy. We came to the wedding as two Swedish guests who barely knew the bride and groom.
