Who they are
The Luhya Idakho live in western Kenya, mainly in Kakamega, and are one of the Luhya groups. They speak the Idakho variety of the Luidakho-Luisukha-Lutirichi language cluster. Together with the Isukha, they share isukuti, a celebratory dance accompanied by drumming and singing. The vast majority identify as Christians; there is also a small Muslim minority and people of other religions.
