Makmende

Another great music video by Kenya’s Just A Band! The new video features the latest single “Ha-He”.

It was great fun creating our vapid spoof action-hero type based on things we remember watching like Tahamaki, Chuck Norris films and Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon – in which angry men walk around beating truth out of hapless people.

The subtitled ‘dialogue’ consists of phrases lifted from various sources – particularly my favorite mind-bender: Waking Life.

Cast: Kevin “K1″ Maina, Patricia Kihoro, Mbithi Masya, Kibugi Wamae, Mugambi Nthiga, Renee Sewe, Kwame Oddenyo, PA Okaalet, Kevin “K2″ Maina, Moses Wataka, Lucille Kahara and Diana Nduba.

Additional Credits: Edited by Mbithi Masya and Jim Chuchu. Many thanks to Njoki Ngumi and Lucille Kahara for help with styling/catering/transport.

hiyo ni kazi mzuri, Makmende ilikuwa kipindi kizuri. ingawa hio wimbi imejaribu lakini mbona kinasauti kama ya marekani, maneno yako sawa lakini mgeiweka katika kiafrika tupu, hadi maneno yao yawe katika Kiswahili. Kazi mzuri lakini,nakipenda.
