"Cushiticness" of the southern Cushites

What practices and traditions have the southern cushites such as the Iraqw kept from their ancestors?
Are their lifestyles even closer to the original Cushites than their northern neighbours?
How about those groups that have Cushitic ancestry such as Tutsis, Kikuyus, Masaai, Samburu?

Not sure how much the language has changed due to proximity with Bantus, but it sounds a mix between Somali and Oromo.
