'Nakupenda' by Le Band ft Khaligraph Jones is Vuuuumbi!

Nakupenda (Trans. "I Love You") is red hot, 'deep urban' stuff! Le Band is master of all the fire that's coming our way with so much gusto, nonstop. All funk and go go go, it leads the way into the very heart of this jama mama. Just so much energy and self-belief! The beat don't stop in this soaring dance hall banger, and it's hip hop all the way. 

 Khaligraph Jones' presence and his finely timed interjections add plenty of magic to the day's do. The street dance by all them guys, driven by desire, is admirable and fun to watch on a sunny Nairobi day. And the sistas, all 'built up', dance like ninjas from some distant place nobody can figure out just yet.  Left agape and agog, Le Band can only plead:

"Sister Dada
Densi kidogo
Nengua kiuno sakata kidogo"

In this they echo, perhaps, the Dadaists of a century ago -- who knows. Still, their prayers be heard: "Yelele Mamama".
