Bull fighting in western region of Kenya is one thing that won't go away or be erased from its people's minds soon. This is an event where calenders are marked and important meetings skipped just to be part of this phenomenal experience. Age is not a hinderance since, young, old and infants on their mother's back all attend to witness the champion to be crowned after the two bulls lock horns. Song and dance makes it even juicier. Isukuti our traditional drum is played by a skilled man who by the look on his face you will see the passion in his eyes. Bulls will fight to death since cowardice is not a virture. Men with machettes will wait for the loser to be chopped to pieces since after the fight the animal isn't in any position to work staright or see clearly. All in the name of bull fighting.
