Osiligi Troupe of Maasai Warriors

The Osiligi Maasai Warriors are a group of traditional performers from Kenya who regularly visit the UK in an effort to raise funds for their families and for improvement of their village back home. The Warriors have toured the world and are in BFPC at 7.30pm on Friday 4th November ...

Who are the troupe?

The Osiligi Warriors were founded by their chairman Tajeu Minnisa (Richard) in 2007. The purpose of the troupe is to benefit their community and the families in their village of Kisamis, situated approximately 30 miles southwest of Nairobi. Money is raised by a series of UK tours during which the troupe will perform their tribal song and dance and spread the word about their culture.

Where were the previous tours?

To date, the troupe have toured every year since 2007. Performances have been in schools, theatres and churches. Their first tour was based in Edinburgh and was so successful, they returned to Scotland then moved down to Devon and Cornwall where they were equally well-received. Amongst many prestigious engagements, they performed at the second Commonwealth Sports Development Conference attended by representatives from all over the Commonwealth and the Scottish First Minister together with members of the Scottish Parliament. They were also invited to perform at the Eden Project in Cornwall and the Dartmoor Zoological Park. Last year they returned to the West Country, enjoying their longest and most successful tour. Each tour invokes great media attention. As a direct result of the tours, it has been possible to find sponsors for the children of their community who previously could not afford to attend school.
