People in coments stop the fighting the reason they made this video to help the parts in Kenya that needs clean water. You guys are truely not gettong the true message. Solange or Chris are not trying to make money for them self, they are trying to help, with an artistic outlet.

Ha, you really think they're not in it for the money on this shit? You've got to be fucking kidding me. How naive are you? EVERYONE is in it for the money. Every musician in the history of music is in it for the money. Welcome to fucking planet Earth.

i dont think solange was the appropiate!!!!!!!

How are these images negative? This way of life has different standard than ours, I don't think its fair to judge this from the automatic privileged perspective of people who come from a country were sanitary water abundant and available. If you immediately think like that all you will see is of poverty and despair. That's not at all what I saw. As a person that has traveled to similar communities done water projects, this felt familiar but informative. It can't be cliche-that's really how it is

That is not singing, its portraying an African country with the image that every European, there is more to Kenya than just this. U should try coming and visit before picking a global problem.
