In this special video, renowned artist Coster Ojwang takes his audience on a deeper journey into the meaning behind his hit song "Auma." Speaking directly to his fans, Coster offers a heartfelt translation and explanation of the song, which is performed in his native Luo language. "Auma" tells the story of his cousin, an innocent village girl about to embark on her first trip to Nairobi, a theme that resonates deeply with many who have made similar journeys from rural areas to the city. As he translates the lyrics, Coster delves into the emotional layers of the song, revealing the inspiration behind its creation and the significance of every line.
Coster takes his time to break down the chorus “Dudu ero biro,” which means “Dudu is coming to the city,” and explains how it symbolizes not only Auma’s literal journey but also the life-changing experience of leaving the comfort of the village for the unfamiliarity of city life. He emphasizes Auma’s innocence and excitement, but also shares the deeper cautionary message embedded in the song - that Nairobi, while full of promise, holds hidden dangers for newcomers. Through his explanation, Coster allows his listeners to connect more intimately with the lyrics, offering insight into the emotional intent behind the music.
Throughout the video, Coster shares personal stories from his own life, shedding light on why the story of Auma is so meaningful to him. He talks about the experiences of many young people from rural Kenya who, like Auma, have dreams of the big city but may not be prepared for the realities they’ll face. This translation session goes beyond mere words; it’s a reflection of Coster’s desire to guide his cousin and others like her, to remind them to be vigilant as they chase their dreams in an unfamiliar world.
For those who don’t speak Luo or may have missed some of the nuances in the original song, this video is an invaluable resource. Coster’s thoughtful translation and explanation give a new depth of understanding to "Auma," allowing fans to appreciate both the beauty of the Luo language and the powerful narrative that drives the song. It’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to explore the rich storytelling and cultural context that make Coster Ojwang's music so impactful.
