MUSIC: Kruzz Excels in "Bad"

Hey! You start watching Bad and listening keenly to all that chanting, and all the fine music, and you get hooked in seconds for all your time's worth. This Dubai-based Nigerian artiste has a real talent sprouting here. Showing us Kenyan number plate KCG 670X is Director Enos Olik's way of telling us that the video was shot in his country. A great video. Great locations.

Depending on the listener, the lyrics are both mesmerizing and confounding: "Keke na pe-po!" And the chaos of not-so-random chanting of mostly familiar memes becomes truly integral to the fine music that we're treated to: "Digi Bum/DigiDigi Bum/Digi BumBum!" 

"Love me jeje,
Love me tender"

The chorus -- "this is too much" -- will surely have a temporary 'juju' effect on all who seek leisure in such a place as this set offers: "Fata Mata(!), Okoroko/ Shakara, Okokoro/Waka Waka, Otoroto/Foster..., Bu Photokoto/". 

All this gibberish is, beguilingly, art. A moveable art form.

The accompanying melody and beat have a lulling quality, too; and slyly lace the se-se-duction. It's all really, really catching. Though set in the background, the music's intended effect on the 'body politic' quietly reveals itself. Wallahi!
