A Foggy Morning in Makueni: Capturing the Kamba Ruracio

The 4th of October saw the Mint Glint Audio Visuals team embarking on an early journey, arriving in the beautiful county of Makueni to a surprisingly chilly and foggy morning. Yet, the weather was no match for the warmth that awaited us. We were there to cover a beautiful, sacred ceremony: the Kamba Ruracio for the lovely Damaris.

As the mist cleared, it revealed not just the scenic landscapes, but the genuine joy and unforgettable hospitality Makueni is known for. One of our crew members perfectly captured the sentiment: “The people here have an open-hearted happiness in welcoming visitors that immediately makes you feel at home.”

Preserving Authentic Kenyan Traditions Through Videography

This event was a powerful testament to family, tradition, and love. The air was thick with anticipation and celebration as the groom’s family formally presented the dowry, a beautiful process steeped in rich Kamba cultural traditions. It was a vibrant display of authentic Kenyan events, filled with negotiation, song, dance, and laughter—a true fusion of solemn ritual and joyous festivity.

There’s a famous Kamba saying that resonated throughout the day:

“Ũndũ ũkĩtĩkĩra nĩ mbesa.”
Literally meaning, “What is agreed upon is wealth,” it speaks to the true essence of the Ruracio. It’s not merely a transaction, but a sacred agreement that unites two families, building a foundation of mutual respect and love for the new couple.
