Mugithi music star Samidoh has finally released his much-anticipated collaboration with the prince of Benga music Prince Indah. The song which is titled 'Bado Nakupenda' has taken over the music scene and ruled the airwaves barely 24 hours after its premiere. In just 18 hours, the 6-minutes track has gained close to 200,000 views and climbed to the 7th position on YouTube trending music.
Many were curious to see how the two artists would fuse their diverse music genres. Not only did they effortlessly marry Benga and Mugithi music, but also spiced it up with a touch of Zilizopendwa and Lingala. Listening to the track, one cannot help but wonder if this is too good to be real.
The onset of the song evokes goosebumps and excitement. Prince Indah makes quite an entrance with his legendary voice in the introduction. The duo then proceed to present the chorus in Swahili with a Zilizopendwa vibe. Just when the chorus is still sinking in, Samidoh takes over the first verse with his Mugithi style. He displays pure artistry and poetry in their rawest form.
Prince Indah takes the song to the climax in the second verse in Benga. He makes a continuation of the storyline in his verse. Despite the fact that the storyline started in Kikuyu, one can hardly notice the smooth transition to Luo. Prince Indah takes a surprising turn into Lingala and then back to Benga. The peak of the song, however, was at the moment when Samidoh fluently sang a few lines in Luo. Could this have gotten any better?
The music video presents the storyline of the two artists and how love slipped away from their hearts. The vixens are dressed in old school costumes. The vintage theme of the video together with the choice of locations stamps the whole song as an artistic masterpiece.
