Kenyan rap duo Wadagliz likely didn’t anticipate the viral sensation their song “Anguka Nayo” would become. Initially, it was just another Arbantone track about partying and indulgence.
However, less than 10 days after its YouTube release, the song has amassed over 1.3 million views and has taken on a new, revolutionary meaning.
As the protests against President William Ruto’s policies entered their third week, “Anguka Nayo” found a resurgence, becoming the perfect lyrical euphemism for the public’s demands.
The song’s catchy beat and chorus have now become a rallying cry, with Kenyans using it to voice their discontent with the government’s actions.
From the rejection of the Finance Bill to the scrapping of non-essential offices, “Anguka Nayo” has been the soundtrack to the ongoing political drama.
Tiktok dance challenges have further fueled the song’s popularity, with even politicians attempting to join in, to a lukewarm response.
Kenyans have used the song in countless online videos, often featuring Ruto and his administration as the targets of the “Anguka Nayo” chant.
What started as a simple party track has now evolved into a powerful symbol of the anti-government movement in Kenya.
Wadagliz may be surprised at the monster they’ve inadvertently created, but “Anguka Nayo” has undoubtedly become the rallying cry that encapsulates the zeitgeist of the country’s ongoing political upheaval.
