Kabras information


The Kabras, or Kabarasi, are a subtribe of the Luhya people of Kenya. They reside in Malava that is in the Kabras Division of Kakamega District, which is neighboured by the Isukha, Banyala, Tsotso, and the Tachoni. The exact origin of the Luhya people is currently disputed, but there are historians who believe that the group came from Bethlehem and migrated to their present-day location by way of the so-called Great Bantu Migration.[1]

The Kabras dialect called Lukabaras[2] is similar to Tachoni. However, the Kabras have spread to other regions as a result of intermarriages and movement to seek greener pastures in formal employment. These people are described as adaptable, easily absorbing other cultural values and beliefs.[2] This can be demonstrated in the way many Kabras practice the Christian and Muslim faiths.[2] One notable cultural practice involves circumcision and bride-price required for marriage.
