A Kikuyu performance in a burial featuring advice on the need to take care of people while they are still living has gone viral online.
The performance by a male artist who sang using a traditional rhythm lightened up the mood of the mourners who often interrupted to applause his lyrics.
In the song, the man sings of how people buy a dead person clothes and shoes yet when the person was still alive he/she would only see expensive clothes being worn by other people.
He goes on to describe how a person gets sick to the point of people wondering if he/she has any relatives, only for them to flock into the home when the person is dead.
The man gave a hilarious narration of how a person once asked his family to help him get his teeth fixed and they refused but when the person died they fixed the teeth leaving him wondering if they expected the person to use them to eat termites in the grave.
The video has been shared widely online with users agreeing with the man’s message that people should take care or their family and friends when they are still alive and quit the burial day pretext.

Sad how we take a day off to bury someone whom we have not been in contact and give a lavish send off. It’s an eye opener. #hypocrisy
