Naniguo muthee akoragwo mwaki

Music has no borders no race no religion it can unite us all as one people. This is an example of this ❤ your tune congratulations .
Yo. Collab? 🔥
I'm leaving this comment here as a reminder to my kids when they grow up that this is the initial Kenyan song to gain global popularity, transcending borders and languages
I'm Proud to be Kenyan, Kenya all the way.
Here for KENYA
1st of all its not really kenyan as the song belongs to Zerb who is featuring a Kenyan singer...secondly we have songs that have international appeal like "Haba haba" by Stella Mwangi etc
Nch ww wacha kelele

Согласен с вами! Музыка это мир, дружба, кайф!
😂❤
but siradi wangeandika au vipi watu wa mshennnnne
When I first heard this in my car via Radio 1 in the UK, I nearly blew my speakers up!! Africa is a feeling, that's for sure. My soul sings. How I miss that continent! 🦋🧡
Welcome to Kenya my sister
Somurdugunuz ülkelerden birisi tabiki

Where is this h*ate coming from 🙄
Thank you
@@calderone5559that is really mean
Thank you Nigeria.
Песня шедевральная. Она просто врывается в тебя!! Россия тоже слушает!
Je n arrive pas à partager❤😂
This makes me so proud as a Kenyan but mostly as a Kikuyu woman😅❤..In it's simple words it addresses deep cultural practices done and expected of women....to get married and leave your father's compound....(This song says this girl's strict father told her not to marry her suitor but now he's angry to see her in his compound and tells her she has to leave) "nu uthamire" (itabidi uhame) (you have to leave)and he gets really angry ....
Wueh the trueness in that statement...😮most women have been through this...primitive mindsets and practices....
Word sis!
Thank you for that information. Please, what does the title, "Mwaki" mean? Thanks!
@@scheis123 it means fire
@@scheis123it means fire but in this context of this song it's used to describe her father's temper is like fire

My 70 yr old Mum heard this on the radio in Germany, being a Kikuyu Lady, it really made her day and she loves listening to this song! Love you Ma ❤ keep grooving and dancing!
Zerb is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again.
I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

this summer is very hot with this song
Love this music!! Hi from Greece!! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Ναιιιιιι, Ελλάδα μέσα!
Hello from Nairobi Kenya
Much Love!
The song is a radiohit already and rising🎉🇬🇷
You are MACEDONIAN🇲🇰
I'm a Texas country boy, this song slaps!
Why would you being from Texas change anything about enjoying this music?
@enterchannelnamehere2922 Because the culture in Texas is predominantly influenced by country music, not African EDM...
@@MaltLicky-yu4en This is not African EDM, this was remixed by a Brazilian guy. The only African thing about this is the fantastic vocals. The rest is House music, which originated in America, your country.
@enterchannelnamehere2922 That's besides the point. It isn't country, that's the point of my comment.
People who don't know the meaning of Mwaki it is 🔥
Enlighten us
Am kenyan 🇰🇪 and hearing this on polish radio was the best part!!! Congratulations!!! Kikuyu to the world and beyond!! 🎉
Must you make this a tribal affair?
BUT ITS KIKUYU BRO@@DJMelchy
Mwaki to the world!!!
@DJMelchy I am not a kikuyu but am happy for them.
@@DJMelchynyumba ya gikuyu na mumbi affair. Ni thaayu from Mt.kenya aka... zion..nobody can remove kikuyu blood from me😂
Leaving a comment to remind all Kenyans to be more welcoming of our own talent and thanking Zerb for putting Sofiya on the map. Kenya is blessed with so many incredible vocalists and Sofiya is just a tip of the iceberg. My prayer is to see Kenyans paying attention to what we have and stop platforming mediocre nonsense.
Anyway, for more Kenyan vocalists in the electronic music scene, check out Nes Mburu, Idd Aziz, and Vivian Olang' as well.
Sadly it's the other way around Zerb was put on the map by Sophia remember that.
Much love my friend, I'm stoked with all the music and talent I saw when in Kenya!
Summer 2024 hit🎉
I see a grammy .. AMEN BUTTON😍 GO NZAU!!!!
Straight from nyūmba ya Mumbi 🇰🇪 to the world 🌎. This song is rent free in my mind🔥🔥🔥.
hahaha, happy to read this!!!
THE GREATEST KENYAN SONG EVER . MARK THIS COMMENT
❤
What is the song's meaning? It's one of the best in the last years!!❤
Just vibe to it I also dunno😅😅@@nicola215
Don't mind me, I'm just an ordinary South African 🇿🇦here to show love and appreciation for Kenya 🇰🇪
I heard this song for the first time today, I'm sure I played it more than 20 times already. It's just too good!! 🔥🔥🔥👌
Nyumba ya mumbi❤ AGIKUYU..ni thaayu Mt Zion Mt kenya
I've never been more proud of being Kenyan More so Kikuyu
As you should, I was so happy to experience a bit from the culture! ❤
We proud of our brothers/sisters from Kenya..what language they speaking???
Love from South africa
Kikuyu language. A bantu language.
Heard it in a bar in Rome and went crazy!!! Kenya to the world!!!🎉

@@mumbisandtmann8931 u c how this song is taking us to new heights….n I honestly don’t understand the language but it’s on repeat since I came to my home country Mauritius 🥰🥰
I won't even tell how much I've been looking for this since I first heard it
Poland 🇵🇱❤❤
I heard my 40 year old aunt humming this song to herself. She's Kikuyu, she knows nothing about EDM but, the local radio stations in the village have this on loop. Maahn... goosebumps.
I loved this!!!
@@ZerbMusic ME TOO 😂😂
Your aunt knows what's good is the most important thing. I am 47 years old and I love this 🌞💓❤🔥

This is just amazing
Don't be tribal this this chuuune is our truly
Of cos we're Kenyans! we can really brag
@@sampharusmulasa6699 Are you surprised? Most of them are which is why it's difficult for Kenya to go forward as a nation. A very retrogressive mindset instilled since childhood in the so called 'mountain'.
@@realalchemist7206I dnt see anything wrong with celebrating individual ethnicities. Our country is full of diverse ethnic groups and that's what makes Kenya and Africa at large beautiful. Having lived in SA I saw they celebrate their individual ethnicities as well as the Rainbow nation South Africa. A Zulu or Xhosa will be proud of a song sang in their mother tongue and that doesn't mean they are tribal. They recognise and appreciate their community as well their nationality.
It's only in Kenya when a Kikuyu, Luo, Maasai, Luhya etc celebrate their language or at large their culture we call it tribalism. I dnt deny there is tribalism but Africa is beautiful because of these beautiful languages. I am proud to be Kikuyu and a Kenyan. Just like every other Kenyan should be proud of their ethnic community and being Kenyan.
Even in the UK they are proud to be Scots, English, Welsh etc. Why should we not be proud too.
This look exactly like a song from fifa. Good vibes and music from underrated or unpopular artists. Great song 💯
from TAnzania feeling proud for this KENYAN masterting
The song is in Poland's top 10 songs on radio 📻 💯💯Kikuyu to the world
Someone sat down and decided to make this beautiful masterpiece.
Glad you liked! We had so much fun doing it :)
Best musik for summer LOVE FROM ALBANIA 🇦🇱

I was in Ghana in 1998. Fantastic experience ! Everybody must go to Africa once in their lives. Tro Tros, Cape Coast and Elmina castles, Kumasi, Mole Game Reserve, etc. Maybe Kenya is next on my list.
I’m leaving this comment here as a reminder to my kids when they’re young that Kenya has always been global. This is an icing!🔥
