Reminds me of when I worked in Kenya. One night walking home from a night at the bar I came across a group of people trying to push a pickup truck in the mud after rain, I joined in I was the only muzungu in the group but I had learn't Twende Twende from some blokes threading a Telephone cable through manholes some days earlier. I was pushing the truck and shouting twende twende. We got the pickup up the hill and to the owners home I was invited in for drinks and my shoes were whisked off for cleaning. Woke up the next morning with an hangover. They said if I had not have got so involved the other men would have given up and left the truck stranded!

A giant rests... Requiescat in pace, Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi (22 September 1952 - 23 January 2019) Great African, musician, businessman, philanthropist, human rights activist... You live on in your gift of music.
I love this song so much with of course the language barrier.The vocals of these legends do it for me.I love my African music.All the love from South Africa
Eric and Oliver Mtukudzi The Great! I love this songs very much. We need more of such cooperation between African Artists to produce Great Songs that Africa can be proud of. I love South Africa former President, Thabo Mbeki. Mr Mbeki never thinks of himself as a South African. To him territorial and geographical regions are irrelevant. To him he is an African, period! When we are in Europe or America we talk of coming back home, where home means Africa. Let's all be Africans, not Ugandans, Kenya
I am a 12 year old girl ...I just came in last Two months....and only Hearing this song.....not only insires me and gives me Confidence but it also gives me home sick.
Telkom/Orange advertisement song

U must have drunk some muratina

I am Kenyan living in the Netherlands and this just made me miss home. So Kenyan. Twende twende Kenya.
Here for Oliver Mtukudzi one love , one africa and one people
I am wondering why this song hasent hit a million plus views! Agree with me?? hit like, and share with yo friends!
i´m doing my best, but i´m afraid i won´t manage to watch it nearly 800 000 times, haha - love and best wishes from germany
I was equally surprised. Compare this content with the crap from millennials....akina l*mba lolo
Twende mpaka state house. "Ukiumizwa hata mimi naskia uchungu"
Right timing mkuu
Kenya and Zimbabwe should partner on more things if this is the magic we produce.
All of Africa should unite.... twende twende
Kenyans sleeping on real Kenyan music
Waking up to this jam playing on KBC meant you were late to school 😂😂. Will live to REMEMBER this legend
R.I.P Oliver Mtukudzi. One of the best Jazz musicians i ever knew.😖😢
Eric Wainaina is so gifted... and agreed... this song deserves a million views!
100 million

Twahitaji upendo ili tusonge mbele
Kutambura kwedu Zvichida hatina rudo
Ukosefu wa upendo waleta dhiki
There’s more to Mama Africa
Than poverty and war
I wish we had a fighting chance
To show off who we are
Twende Twende
