Ugandans, especially in urban areas, have been wiling away the Covid-19 lockdown by, among other things, posting TikTok videos of themselves doing the Kiganda dance to a catchy song, Kwata Essimu.
The song done in cheeky Luganda with street slang undertones and a bakisimba vibe embedded in hip-hop, is the work of Arua’s Freeboy, real name Mandela Mubarak Adams, featuring Swangz Avenue’s Winnie Nwagi.
