"Swahili african gospel"

Here's a viewer's comment that explains what the song is about:

"pilipili MEANS Pepper" she sings how can Pepper NOT in ur mouth hurt youß & if you see that someone is blessed, how does it concern you, when she was in temptations you took on ur heels, & left her to suffer,& now she`s blessed,she`s suffered all alone & why do u wanna be her friend now that she`s blessed, juz u r false friends & so on...it`s juz a real gud everyday`s life song that teaches us to be good 2 others in GUD & BAD TIMES! NOT ONLY IN GUD TIMES!God bless U RUTH!

I like this video not just because I liked the singer's voice, and the tune is catchy (although the only word I understood was "Hallelujah"), but also because it shows scenes of urban Kenya.

I was interested to see that the singer and others danced to the music (which speaks the point I made in my previous post about how instrumental music, singing, and dancing are intricably connected for most Black Africans and people from the African Diaspora.

From watching videos of African choirs, it appears that those choirs dance while singing more than African American choirs do.
