	Turkana introduction - Traditional Music & Cultures of Kenya
		With a population of somewhere between 250,000 and 340,000, the Nilotic-speaking Turkana are Kenya's third-largest tribe, as well as the country's second-largest group of pastoralists, after the Maasai.
		The majority live in Turkana District of Rift Valley Province in the arid northwest of Kenya, bounded to the north by Sudan, by Uganda to the west, to the south by the Pokot and Samburu peoples, and to the east by Lake Turkana (formerly called Lake Rudolf) and its volcanic hills.
		And so the Turkana move, constantly, chasing the clouds in the hope of rain and the small patches of freshly sprouted vegetation which it gives.
