Kenyan Hip hop artist, Matata is back again with another powerful rap banger titled Ruracio.
The name Ruracio means bridewealth or dowry. In many African societies, the groom’s family presents either money or cows or both to the bride’s family as a gesture of his willingness to marry her.

The payment of the bride price is a sign of the man’s commitment to take care of his wife and is seen as a symbolic act and a necessary part of upholding culture, rather than a purchase.
The song taps from this traditional culture and puts an urban/modern spin to it.
