Pandana by Ethic ndio mdundo mpya, tupandane basi

Ethic are at it again with their new jam “Pandana”. Panda is a swahili word meaning climb. This jam has hit the airwaves very first. The song was directed by Mackenzie. Ethic has become a household name.

Looking at the title of the song, for me the first thought that comes to mind is laughter. Looking at the video the dancers are really climbing. I would say that the title is so clear in the bridge. Production of this song was excellent and entertaining.

” Si hupandana, panda panda Si hupandana, katangaze basi baby Si hupandana, panda panda  Si hupandana eeh”

“Tunabakana, hapo nyuma na sidika  Mnafanana, maana kila day bana  Unaitangaza, katangaze basi baby” In this verse symbolism has been used. It likens the lady’s behind to that of Vera Sidika, who is known to have a big booty. It goes on to tell the lady to go ahead and do what she does by showing it off.

Although the song is vulgar, it still manages to entertain through the dance , the vocals are on point. I feel like the song is talking about sex, come to think of the words in the bridge;
“Si hupandana, panda panda Si hupandana,

This song “Pandana” is good for a club setting, where people are there to drink and shake their bodies. I give it a rating of 5/10. This is because for me people in the age bracket of 16-25 are the most likely to listen to it than any other group.
