The Borana live in the barren north of Kenya, at the boundery with Ethiopia.Their name means “friend” or “kind person”, so that a bad person may be told he is not Borana.The Borana speak an Oromo language spoken by three major peoples. Their way of life is organized around cattle. Their solid round houses, built by the women, consist of intermixed branches covered with grass all the way to the ground. They may have to move three or four times a year, because of the lack of rainfall and arid land. Every single aspect of their culture is based on music. Because of their nomadic lifestyle, they had few contacts with Christians. Although Islam has influenced their society, they believe traditionaly in one God called Wak, and have intermediary priests named Qalla.
