"Obama: The Musical" opened in Kenya’s capital Nairobi Sunday just days after President Mwai Kibaki declared Thursday a national holiday to let citizens in Obama’s ancestral homeland celebrate his success. The long-anticipated musical tells the story of Obama’s life set to traditional and contemporary Kenyan music though it ends with his acceptance of the Democratic nomination.
Pop stars were not the only ones dancing, though, with reports that Obama relatives danced in the streets of his grandmother’s village of Kogelo singing his praises in the wake of his victory. His half-brother told World Bulletin last week that he planned to roast a bull in celebration the win. In Turkey villagers in a predominantly Kurdish village sacrificed 44 sheep to celebrate Barak Obama’s election last week and smeared Obama posters with blood to ward off bad luck, the local Today’s Zaman reported.

Residents of the eastern village of Çavuştepe, near the border with Iran, held posters of the president-elect streaked with blood that read “You are one of us” and We love you.” Resident Abdulkerim Kulaz told the paper that Obama’s victory over his Republican rival John McCain was "proof of an end to racism in the world."

On the other side of the Muslim world Mauritanian twins born on the eve of the election were named after the two presidential hopefuls, according to Mauritania’s daily Alakhbar.

The paper reported that Tanja Nan was inspired to name her newborns after the candidates in hopes that they achieve similar “greatness.” The paper added that the twins real names are Hassan and Houssein but that Obama and John will be used in daily affairs.
