This song reminds me of a certain traditional wedding in Nairobi back in 2018 and the DJ played much of our luo song until he played this. I tell this song took it all to the next level, we requested it to be played again and again 😂
Kama kuna mtu huwatch huu wimbo ni mimi, zile beats ziko hapa hata kama sielewi mkangala ni nini? But wimbo ni mtamu sana. Nataka bibi Mluyhia anifunze Kiluyhia.
Mukangala is a houseboy. He tells everyone who comes to the home that he is the man of the house. He works for Roselida, and lives with her. But, when she is away, he wears the suits of her husband and claims to be the man of the house. The man visiting at the start of the video gets surprised when he sees Roselida asking Mukangala about washing the dirty clothes she had left; and then giving him money to go to the market to buy food for lunch for the guest. Mukangala says the work was a lot, that is why the clothes remain unwashed. So, the shocked visitor asks if Mukangala is being mistreated yet he has been telling everyone that he owns the home. Isn't he the man of the house? Roselida discovers Mukangala's bragging, lies and impersonation. She gets angry and chases him away from her home. His income has been cut, and he has no hope left as he slinks away like a vagabond. Mukangala!
