When you see your face on a matatu, that's how you know you've made it😂
Walae bruh😂😂ogopa kanairo
Im from South Africa and recently worked in Nairobi for a couple months. The Mataus were the first things I noticed and they are very visible at night with all the lights and loud music. It was a pretty dope sight to hear and see.
This is the part of Nairobi culture that should never die out ❤, love to my fellow Kenyans and you 2 @TheDemouchets
We do have NGANYA AWARDS every year where we get to sample the baddest matatu with the most influence
My mum told me the name matatu came from 30 cents coz they used to be charged 30 cents and the touts would shout ( Mang'otore matatú... matatú) to attract customers... meaning 30 cents in kikuyu or mapeni tatu in kiswahili. Hope young generation have learnt too😂😂. On racing cars, just check Safari rally 2022.
That's true dear
3cent not 30.
Ndururu na gìteni
Thank you for sharing this!
That's true.
They are freehand spray painted, not wrapped so the art is permanent. 10:40 you can see one on the left prior to the mods. There are hundreds of them, no schedule, When it's full it hits the road.
10:29 the full interior from the roof, seats, floor etc are locally manufactured. Those artists are super super talented
I used to wait for the Matatu i loved coz the music was hiphop ❤ from 🇺🇬
Matatus are simply cheap public transportation and not party buses per se. We use them to go to work, school and even on the way to hospital. The creative designs and entertainment are solely to attract customers. They are privately owned and loosely regulated which allows for diversity of design and 'pimping'.
Welcome to the kenyan culture..art on the wheels.. mathree
Y'all should come to Kenya and experience the Matatu culture ☺️
Na wawache simu nyumbani🤣🤣
Kenya is the only country in the whole world with such a creative idea on public transportation(matatu culture)
Pride of KENYA
mrembo unachoma..south asia ziko
Have you seen Pakistani and India?
@@blacksignaturevisuals694correct, East Timor and Thailand
@@Andykibe254 not organized and clean.The Kenyan matatus are very clean
13:00 I don't know whats up with us Kenyans, we love lights and blinking lights, like those tiny shoes kids used to wear😂😂
Matatus Are So Many,You Can't Count Them,They're Public Transport Vehicles.
Each Nganya has like its own career.undergoes modfications but keeps its theme/Name/ thru'out
The matatus are endless. There are available on different routes. It is a lucrative business for the owners. We do have shows where the new matatus oth new designs are showcased. This culture is authentic and has provided alot of jobs for young artists, technicians and drivers who would otherwise be unemployed. It is a culture something we appreciate and are very proud of as kenyans. As an investor, to purchase a fully decked out matatu, you can end up spending close to $100k or more. If you come to Kenya, you have to experience travelling in a decked out matatu. It's awesome. You would love it.
Thank you for reacting to our video, God bless.🙏
Pls show even funkadelica
Nairobi Kenya is where humanity started. You are welcome home to experience unique culture.
The best combos/taxis in Afrika!!
Jambo from Zimbabwe😄
KENYA to the rest of the world, long live matatu culture
💯
They are sooo noisy😂 they break like a thousand road rules😂but we love them regardless,, because they're fast and overtake even where's no way,😂
All Kenyans are high spirited, young and old.... We party even at home🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You spilling the beans brother/sister😃.
Am from kenya and these how we move ❤❤ these matatus as they are called nganya 🎉🎉🎉❤❤😂
We call them moving Discos😂😂😂❤❤,KENYA TO THE WORLD 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
The Night Nurse!🎉🎉 it's gotta be the most undefeated ❤❤😊
matatu is a bantu word meaning three
And it was because they used to pay 3cents for most matatu rides and destinations
Coz in the 80s we used to pay 3shillings fare. A matatu was a modified pickup..where people would sit facing each other and interlocking their feet...😂
Not 3 shillings but "mang'otore matatu"
Tatu is the Swahili word for three, matatu is a reference word for three depending on which Bantu tribe you come from.
@@cookwithnimmo wueh,...true.
There are no schedules time in Matatu,the most famous right now is known as Opposite and Boombox 💥💯
Kenya well respresented,nganyaa culture 🇰🇪
True..Imagine the elderly in a matatu with the gospel playing😂😂😂.
I am 22 years old and matatu gives me headache...sometimes some discos especially in the morning while am going to work
For car races they do have Ng’anya contests. Other car races include Safari Rally and the East African classic safari rally.
Matatu is day to day mode of transport so they are so many with different taste according to the route
In nairobi alone, we have about 3000 such Matatus
...More
There are thousands matatus. They are all different designs except those with uniform company colors. The ride itself is the car-show, you get a front-row seat to the breaking of all traffic rules. And which is best? Depends on which neighborhood you are from. You'll be supporting your route for fav. matatu.
The best way to join youths in the city our own culture under the sun,Nothing beats like seeing this boys having a job and appreciated world wide
Its imported mostly from South Korea as FH lorry,then done from there..There is transportation of the oldery and those not willing to use known as kenya bus,
Thanks Fam
10:05 The best in town now is Opposite 8:55 [the red one] and Mamba 4:47 [The green one] both are from the same route
Once a nganya is old and rugged,it doesn’t attract customers so it’s taken to the operating room for some make over before it hits the road again.There is a high number of new matatus also the old ones that have existed are quite a number
There is a generation that it attracts let's be honest. When I was younger I loved nganyas but with age you outgrow this. It's just chaos and noise. There is nothing cool about loud noise anymore. 😂😂😂
Yeah, they do have the matatu show every year
Hi 👋🏾 am here to answer yeah the matatu are always there on a daily basis and so many of them , plenty to choose which you want as your transport , happy to help ❤
We roll out a new nganya every year.... Matatu culture is a show which rewards the most magnificent nganya, we have the art of the big buses the 33seater and vans, 14 seater.... The buses culture is in Nairobi city while the vans culture is in Mombasa city..... It's a sweet culture that extends country wide.... We also have car shows, çlassic and modern 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"We roll out a new nganya every year"... Every year? Really? woulda said nearly every week!
each nganaya has like a legacy to keep but when hoter models come in the older ones are modified or even undergo a complete transformation, there is also competition between different routes matatus no one wants to be left behind so we try to outdo each other all the time😅😅
I love this channel.
The Elderly have a quite version of Matatu
Yeah, we got car shows that include all types of cars. It's so much fun chilling and getting the adrenal rush from the view of the cars.
Something we would love to witness!
4:19 l remember Xzibit on Pimp My Ride 🤣 messing up peoples’ cars with water fountains 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 and the people would be happy.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT And sometimes the whole neighbourhood would come out 🤣🤣
Tatu means three in swahili. So matatu are called mathree, ma-tatu which translates to ma-three
we got so many routes allover. different destinations but we also got plain designs and quiet ones for older ages
For me, my favorite has to be the 2022 award winning (Kenya 1) OPPOSITE. Designed by Maksee (To The World🌍) and the pilot - Evanso
There’s one matatu for my area called “ZITRAN”😍
In Mombasa it started with XN, ZL, to Mighty 604, Uprising, Freezer, Soldier 104/5 etc. You were humbled when you got a seat on the matatu.
It's only in kenya bro we do what we do best
For classic cars, The Africa Concours d'Elegance, ia an annual organized by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club and open to all makes of cars and motorcycles, is the classiest event on the Kenya Motor Sports Federation calendar.
For racing, we have the famed Safari Rally which is just "chef's kiss"
Pure magic from matatu transport industry 💯💯💥💥
Every end of the year there is an event to award the best matatu of the year.The most sleak matatus come to the event and they are each given a chance to showcase their prowess not only the sleak look but also the prowess of their drivers whom we refer as pilots are put to test.
10:07 the best matatu is Hell heaven followed by Opposite and Boombox
Get in and have fun
Come to Nairobi Kenya and experience all this💯
7:04 the design changes when a new one is bought, in short since there are so many of them that are bought every month, it's unlikely that two designs will be the same unless the operators decide that's what they want.
you praise ma country you got me to subscribe buddy.
The design only changes mostly when getting a new one, their close to 1-2k matatus in Nairobi alone.
Love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤
We have different routes/hoods here the owner registers his nganya under a Saccos (a body regulates the matatus operations in one route. Also the matatu can not operate on another route except the one it has been registered to operate. You find that we have over 200 Saccos each Saccos unleashing their beasts/nganyas/matatus. You can find a route having more than 5 Saccos under which the matatus operate. Also 1 Sacco can have 200 matatus doesn't have to be a specific number. We also have matatus that are very simple and quiet without the loud music depending on one's preference. All these operating under one Sacco.
Me cracking up every time I hear matutu😂😂 and yes siz, you can call it ma3
1:34 it's not a party bus in kenya, the reason why is most people prefer these decked out busses for the service and the reason why they are out at night is cause the other common buses end service before most late nighters are out of the city CBD so if you're heading home, it might be the only means of transport home.
Well... I'm a Kenyan btw I love your content..... answer to your question..... there are many and I mean many of them and they get new ones every time plus old ones get remodeled
the best matatus are the ones that go to Rongai and Ngong, those buses be LIIIIIIIT, i be having kareoke every time im on em🤣🤣Thursdays to Sunday, we got strangers drinking together on em and having a good time. If you looking to party have a wild night, Kenyans are the best.
Nope no route beats Umoja.
1:01 these ppl are giving good ideas. We need to up the matatu game even more. Edit: 4:10 Not a bad idea either. A show similar to Pimp My Ride.... "we heard you like rims... so we added more rimz on your rimz"
We’re glad you think they are good ideas. Take them!
karibu Kenya karibu Kanairo❤❤❤😂😂😂 shout out my country people 😊
Find videos about the same public transport soup up from other countries. Good for content. I believe the Phillipines have some great ones too. Jamaica and Haiti too
Matatu are dope.Nice experience
Nganya madness every year. Is the showcase.
they barely change it once it's pimped out..
new matatu's keep coming into the various routes around nairobi and its environs
They are always on the road 24/7
The matatu’s art dont change they are just alot of them
In the 90’s the decor featured American basketball celebs and teams.
They change according to what's changing ..in the future we might see electric matatus....zitakuwa ngori😅😅
We got so many of them plying different routes in the Capital and other cities in Kenya.
each new vehicle comes wih its own design, every three months on average, a new vehicle is always in route
We have many of them for each route
the answer to the question you asked about which matatu people go for most?? it depends on which nganya suits you or it's you favourite
Wagwan @Demouchets am from Kenya i prefer using a bus called ''Rungao" ..God bless Kenya.
there are many of them
Every route has its own nganya which are several. Sometimes nganya are referred to us manyanga! The bosies are made from scratch and graffities drawn by hand! The elderly use uber or ambulance they can't use matatu they can be promoted to glory as fast as possible!
matatus are like vehicles that move pple from different areas and every hood has its own matatus
Matatus are a basic means of transport. It's not a party bus.. They are basic means of transport and the cheapest compared to other means
yup we've the car shows
We have a lot of them,is crazy out here 😊
Welcome to kenya so that you can experience it yourself
You're welcome 🇰🇪😊
Nairobi has many of this buses we call them Nganya.... Its not like they change designs they just release a new one
Matatu or nganya /mathree) is our life in Nairobi.......😂❤🎉.. yesterday I used one for rongai ..music eeii...eii mathreee
Yo,demouchets y'all should pop up in NAIROBI n catch the amazing vibe of our great city,out here we do it like no other around the world make sure you visit n get it on with US😊
FYI_MATATU CULTURE IS THE WELCOMING OF NEW MATATU TO THE HOOD🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Welcome to KENYA
On your question how often they rebrand...1st there are many of them , but when a matatu gets old , they introduce another one , though the older one may just continue working , with an introduction of a new one , they loose their bragging rights.... the ones you seeing people screaming at night , blowing whistles ,hanging all over, that's more like a ceremony to introduce a new matatu on the street
We've got millions of them each day like a thousand cars with new graphic design 😂😂😂❤❤i love my country 🇰🇪🇰🇪🔥🔥🔥🔥 the ones for the hospitals are clean hehe...
Back in the day late 2004 we used to have Flintstones aka Bedrock and vibe ngaya in route 15 L.A ..
Welcome to Kenyan best to see your self
A matatu may be remodified maybe after roughly 8 months but if the matatu got into an accident, it would be taken to the garage in less than a week
I'm from kenya and there are many of them and they go really fast
8:53 there are annual events for showdowns where fans get to vote theur best mat.
