[BenjaMkenya]

[Azizip17]

Thanks for posting this video! I also like the song & wish I knew what it was about. What language is this, & what does the title mean? Also, I'm REALLY fascinated by the dancing. These dance movements look A LOT like the mid 1960s American R&B dance "The Twist".

Are these dancers doing traditional Tanzanian dances? If so, from what ethnic group? Or are these dancers copying off of The Twist or did Chubby Checker or whoever invented that dance copy off of traditional African dancers???

[ShabazzAllah1]

@Azizip17 The twist probably came from Tanzania or this tribe because during the late 50's and 60's a lot of Black Americans traveled to Tanzania and lived their during the Black Power movements and learned Swahili.

[13sweetessence]

Fabulous video! I am not from Africa but I love the African culture and dance and music!!! Thank you for the video!!!

[bossoftheday]

The Language of this song is called Kihaya famous in Tanzania Bukoa or Kagera who ever knows this places he will be able to understand.

Bukoba is the best for ever.

[batmanbeyond89]

My mothers always saying that..lol

[doughmitch]

What is it about this woman and her music? Why am I so into her.

[zettebda]

Good answer! LOve it! ha hahha ha

[sucrosed]

you don't have 2 understand the words of the song 2 love it..the rhythm also matters.i don't understand a word she's sayin but iloooove ths song!

[twentyeighter]

Once in a while a rare thing happens, a person so well expresses and engages the kernel of brilliance and wisdom of a whole peoples. So many of us Tanzanians living abroad can only be proud and extremely home sick when we consider how painful it is to have a body in one land buy your heart in another.

Mungu ibariki Tanzania :)

[Generalidibabu]

Karoli heko napenda nyimbo zako zote . keep it up love you karoli.

[next2shek]

funny i speak Kenyan Swahili(the Bantu Swahili) yet i can't understand what she's saying but i love her.

[pauleoy2k]

the reason why you can still enjoy the song even though you dont necessarily speak that language is becuause certain tunes directly correlate to certain emotions and thought patterns and the tune of the song is directly inspired by the emotions being expressed.

[Jacobbmarley]

what's wrong ?

[nyanjige1]

love this song

[emakma]

You got point there but, have you everthink that proberbly it could help??Personal I love it.

[likedatshorty]

Umepata all WRONG. Saida anapendwa na Cassette zake zinanunuliwa na uwa anakodishwa akaimbe maharusini na kwenye sheree tofauti bongo na kila sehemu sasa sijui unamanisha nini ukisema waswahili wanashindwa kuinuwa nyimbo zake sababu sijui aimbi kiswahili. Kwani kuna watu kibao wanajua kihaya(sio kigumu kujua kama unataka). Don hate on Kihaya. Kajisemea na "Kokwi" mbona wengine wanaimba kicongo na mnanunua nyimbo zao? Mbona mnanunua nyimbo za Koffii olomide sijui?

[sebubi51]

wahaya mnashidwa nini kuimba kwenye kiswahili hamuona mnapuguza soko lenu kwasababu mnaimba kihaya ni video zuri lakini waswahili wanashidwa kuinuwa kwasababu hawajui unacho kiimba

[kokwi]

Mbona soko la nyimbo za Mali,Congo na Uganda au Cuba aijapunguka?! Music trancends language. Enjoy!

[chezanami]

but she's one of the most selling musicians in eastern and central Africa doug. Saida keep it going homegirl, loveya.

[intrepeco]

kaka sebubi hilo jiwe la likedatshorty limetua katikati ya paji la uso.. pole sana mzee..!!
