This week’s episode is rather an unusual one. It was recorded at 4100 meters Above Sea Level, around the warmth of a campfire on a rainy and very chilly night in the mountains.  In this week’s episode, we take a deep dive into the lives, traditions, and history of the Gishu and Sabinyi people.  I am joined by Alex one of the guides from Mountain Elgon National Park, a true son of the land narrates this mysterious story with its many contrasts.  We will explore the uniqueness of this mountain which protects the world’s largest high caldera and still protects the world’s largest caldera base.  We will certainly talk about the ancient ritual of circumcision as well as the more controversial subject of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).  Our journey of discovery will also lead us to the story of Kintu who many know to be the first Muganda; but very few know to have been one of the sons of Masaaba, the most sacred ancestor of the Bagisu people.  As the rain drops beat against our small iron sheet shelter and the sparks from the campfire fill the air, we will also learn about the linkage between the Sabinyi people of Mount. Elgon and their Jewish brothers from Biblical Jericho.  See you on Sunday! -------------------- Connect with me EMAIL: [email protected] | [email protected] LINK TREE: https://linktr.ee/ahajonathan PATREON: Join my Patreon and make a monthly pledge to support the creative work that goes into producing this show and several other content avenues https://bit.ly/3CcZTdt
