[Tokiohotelgirl97]

I really want to live there!

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

KENyans Are AWESOME !! :D i'm Kenyan !

[DJharj123]

im nt afrian this is good

[TheLifeEvents]

@3ulls3y3 Yes the tourist say Jambo, with a long aa sound. When I was a kid, the proper way was with a very short a, hardly present. You can tell a mile away.

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

thumps up if Ur African !!

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

Jombo !!! EVERYONE ~~ :)

[zonkozonko]

OK, so once you have learn't all the greetings in Kiswahili you go on to Luo, Kisii, Luhya. and many more tribal languages and their greetings! Just knowing one welcoming word will bring you many friends. Saying good bye is always the hardest !

[xDsmiliesxP]

I love this song, rlly helped me learn s few phrases.

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

♥♥ KENYA KENYA KENYA KENYA ♥♥

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

i love Kenya :)

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

I'M Born In Kenyaa . ♥ :D

[monoclebarbie]

lul i watched a movie in swahili and had to watch this again XD

[Tokiohotelgirl97]

I have to do sign language to this in front of 100 people D:

[speakswahilidammit]

Habari za jioni, mdogo wangu? Kila kitu njema huko? Means "how are you this evening, little brother? Everything fine there?" Swahili is SUCH a beautiful language. I learnt it before English, although I'm British.... have a look at my short video.

[maddocdaddy]

You cannot stand this song if you hear it 20000 times during your stay in Kenya and Tanzania, believe me!

[BeeHavinMyself]

I love this! As a native of Washington, DC, these few words set to music were easy to learn. Blessings to the composer.

[poppyflopous]

This idea is truly genius!

[cardinia7]

I love Kenya:) I came home yesterday from Kenya and I miss her so much.

[randybuist]

@cardinia7 I came home two weeks ago, and I miss her very much too.

[SnuggleCuttieeBUNNY]

@cardinia7 Same Here !!! :D

[richy902]

For the love of Jambo. Everything is Jambo. Unless it's Pole Pole (slowly slowly). I love the country but they wonder why there is so much corruption and nothing ever gets done. It's because NO ONE DOES IT. "Hey, Lucas (Jambo Jambo), you turned up two hours late and you're in the wrong place". "Hakuna matata. Pole pole."

Brilliant.

[3ULLS3Y3]

@richy902 If you really think everything is Jambo, you failed to break into the inner-culture. To the younger generation, it's Mambo, then Poa, or Fit.

The biggest irony here is we as foreigners go into Kenya and expect them to have all the advances we have in technology, Imperial bastardism (also known as colonization/capitalism) integrated into their tribal lives, and when their results don't measure up to our expectations, we blast them for it? Who the hell made us gods?

[bladefan001]

@3ULLS3Y3 Jambo, is the tourist way of saying hello, Hu Jambo is the traditional way, to which you would reply Si Jambo.

Mambo however is the younger way of saying How are you? to which the typical answer would be Poa, which means fresh not fit.

To an older person the greeting would be Shikamoo, and the reply would be Marahaba, Shikamoo means I respect you, Marahaba means I accept your respect.

Another greeting amongst young people is Mambo vipi? Intead of just Mambo :)

[beasleyfencer]

We used this as our camp song for a youth camp I helped out at. I love it! The kids loved it, too. Very catchy

[Leon612]

well there are problems in kenya. Did anyone see the video of people forced to burn to death because they were thought to be witches?

[xaedraxaedra]

@Leon612 "forced to burn to death"

<< Very few people willingly burn to death.

[TheMonsterLegends]

bunch of negros cant rule themseleves

[jaoyay]

@TheMonsterLegends

mind what u write about people..... buch of negros? yet u r the pple filling up our country.

[TheMonsterLegends]

@jaoyay And what country is that?

[xaedraxaedra]

@TheMonsterLegends

Agreed. Then, when you give them the leadership they need, they rebel because a few (check your history books, yes, a very few) whites took their power a little too far.

[TheMonsterLegends]

@xaedraxaedra thats why i believe their better off if they ruled by the british,

[Magicalrainbow321]

[luismiamaya]

[goldandblue5]

This is very good except "Very Fine" is "Nzuri Sana" not "Mzuri Sana"

[sgmalalon]

Heard this song on my first holiday in Kenya and just can't get it out of head ... love it and always takes me back to where I had a great time

[elmagnifico2k]

I found out that the folks at jifunzekiswahili (dot) com, are the best in teaching Swahili. They have the best online tutoring I have ever seen.
