Extras -

he culture in Kenya has become truly and purely Kenyan despite the many and varied influences that have shaped Kenyan society. Kenya has maintained many of its traditional culture much more than any other country on in the wolrd. Kenya tradition and custom is part of everyday life to the people who live in kenya.. Today it is possible to see a Maasai walking across the plains using his distended earlobes to support walkman headphones, a group of urban Kikuyu joining in a traditional wedding ritual in which a bride is sung out of her house by the grooms family, or a Samburu Business man with a traditionally beaded mobile phone cover. The result is a completely unique culture. Kenyan culture is built on the acceptance and absorption of new and varied culture, whether it was migrant nomads or sea borne traders. The ease with which Kenyans adopt and adapt to new cultural influences has a long history. The end result is a culture of endless influence and yet one completely uniquely Kenyan in character.
