Music break: a song for the hypocrites
July 15, 2011
“Kigeugeu” by Kenyan artist Jaguar. This song has been around for a few months, but I just started listening to it. (Clearly, urgency is not this blog’s forté!)
Kigeugeu means “changing” in Kiswahili — as in the way chameleons change color (Google translate says “vascillating”). The saying is kigeugeu kama kinyonga – changing like a chameleon. The characters in this video — the pastor, the wife, the politician — change according to their circumstances.
I think the song bumps, and is kind of soulful, too.
Apparently, Raila Odinga is also a Jaguar fan.

Did not know you listen to East African music. Yes, that song has been rocking the airwaves here
I’ve been living/working in Kenya and found your blog post about 2009′s top songs when searching for music I’ve been hearing on the radio.
Kigeugeu is my favorite song by far I’ve heard here. Everytime I hear it I’m instantly in a good mood.
Cheers,
Ben
