Well, today we write about something light. I would like to refer to a particular thing. This is music. I will talk about my favourite song at the moment. This changes all the time with different artists, languages and rhythms.
Today I will talk about the song I like best at the moment. It is not easy because there isn’t just one. A while ago (around one month ) my husband showed me a song by a Kenyan band called “Just a band” called huff puff. I listened to it and I instantly loved it and it made me feel like I was on vacations. The video was amazing and the music sounded like the best song to dance to in that moment. Later I started looking for more stuff by this band and recently I found “Ha He”. I know it is “so pop” but I have to admit that I like all sorts of music including pop (Shame on me)
I listened to this song about a week ago and then I watched the video. I like it because it reminds me of the old detectives like “Shaft”. The detective that defeats all the others in a fight, the one that gets the pretty girl, but still feels very lonely, you know. I find it very funny.
However, the lyrics are in informal Swahili (language in Kenya) so I have no idea what it says and haven’t taken the time to look. I only know l like it loads.
Have a listen and tell me what you think. Honest!

ReplyDeleteHi miss, i listened the song and i don't liked :( , really i don't understood lyric, but the rithm is so strange.
ReplyDeleteFernanda. This song is in Swahili (the language of kenya)so I don't expect you to understand it:)
Deletei listen this song and is interesting but isn't my music style, but always is good listen to some music :)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel ashamed for liking pop, teacher! I like pop too, but the pop of the 80's. Well, for sure the quality of the pop it depends of the age when was made it and the kind of pop it is too. Anyway, there are some current pop songs that are very amusing (: The song you show us is not bad! :D
ReplyDeleteNever in my life I've heard this song. I think that is strange but nice at the same time :)
