Marakwet Folk Dance during the National Defence College Cultural Day.

The Marakwet are one of the groups forming the ethnolinguistic Kalenjin community of Kenya, they speak the Markweta language. The Marakwet live in five territorial sections namely Almoo, Cherangany (Sengwer or Kimaala), Endoow, Sombirir (Borokot) and Markweta (the dialect giving rise to the common name). Cutting across these territorial groups are a number of clans to which each Marakwet belongs. There were 119,969 Marakwet people in 2019.
We celebrate all cultures because culture is universal, culture belongs to all of us. It is for posterity.
We congratulate the Marakwet for being proud of their traditional folk dances.
