Oboribwa baba performed by The STAR chorale

The song was sung to remind the Abagusii of the locust invasion in Gusiiland
during this period that resulted in a disastrous famine. It was believed that the ancestral
spirits sent wild animals such as foxes to warn people of the danger of locust invasion but
people didn‟t take it seriously.
