Mafikizolo The Guys That Did “Khona” Celebrate Kiswahili With the Song “Nakupenda” Listen to It Here
I have no idea what it is about Mafikizolo and Uhuru but they seem to be as enormously enamoured by Kenya and it’s culture as kenyans are with their song “Khona”. i was trawling the internets for information when I stumbled across a song they had done that was done in Kiswahili.
The track is done in the South African indigenous style of House Music “Kwaito” but the chorus and hook are in Swahili. I think Kenya should be honoured by the gesture and Kenyan artists can also learn that it isn’t about the language you use but the music itself.
That is why they say music is a universal language. To hear the fusion of what I suspect is Khosa and Swahili is easy on the ears. This particular song isn’t necessarily a party song, it’s has more of a feel good vibe and quiet night at a lounge feel to it.
