Katana Bin Kalama - Nilipata Mzungu
from Spotlight on Kenyan Music Vol.4 by Various Artists
about
A Giriama musician from the Coast Province, Katana Bin Kalama's music is rich in Mji Kenda traditions.
Singing in a mixture of Giriama, Swahili, English and French, the artist's song 'Nilipata Mzungu' (I have found a white person) reflects the popular situation on the Kenyan beaches as local Kenyans hook up with visiting tourists for short term fun which sometimes lead to long term relationships.

lyrics
Minonapata muzugu
Muzungu hafa kasti
Nusu ni mwarabu
Na nusu ni muzungu
Mzungu muislamu
Muzungu mwenye imani
Kadima kugonya siku mbiri kabila
Kunipigira Simu nimanye nimuzima
Namupenda namulovu,
Mpezni namulaiki
Anipenday yukure Bin Kalama my love mpenzi
Anaishi London
Kifaransa namwamba
Chérie la jamais tres jolie
Muzungu hafa kasti
Nusu ni mwarabu
Na nusu ni muzungu
Mzungu muislamu
Muzungu mwenye imani
Kadima kugonya siku mbiri kabila
Kunipigira Simu nimanye nimuzima
Namupenda namulovu,
Mpezni namulaiki
Anipenday yukure Bin Kalama my love mpenzi
Anaishi London
Kifaransa namwamba
Chérie la jamais tres jolie
