Okeme

Okeme is a traditional Lango folk dance. It is often performed at weddings, cultural introduction ceremonies, and graduation ceremonies.

Performance
Okeme is a highly interactive dance where the dancers jump while stamping their feet on the ground. They use great force while jumping, dancing to the tunes of the drum while they sing to the audience.

Performing this dance gives opportunity for all people attending the particular event to join the traditional dance and have fun.

Origin
The origin of Okeme dates to when the Lango people settled in present-day Otuke and Alebtong districts.
