"Chemirocha" is a series of three field recordings made in 1950 by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey during his visit to the Kipsigis people of the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. The tribe had previously heard the recordings of American country singer Jimmie Rodgers, which they integrated to their musical culture. In 2014, the International Library of African Music returned to Kapkatet, the town where the songs were recorded, to present the digitized version of them to the locals.
