Great content. Made in the 60's, the tune was well in line with zilizopendwa, popular tunes back in the day. In today's age of genge n dancehalls, the tune is just boring. Kids can chant away 'coupe de calle' n 'one mo nite' comfortably, but not one verse of our Kenyan Identity. Myself too, due to the low exposure. Maybe DJ Pinye/bunduki should be allowed to remix the Anthem to popularize it among the youth, n all watering holes made to play it esp to signify closing time hehe
TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

Side effects of prolonged glue sniffing.
Advice is like snow.The softer it lands the harder is sticks.

@ vin, I think I have a point. Nowadays the exposure to the poetic piece is almost nil. Trust me nikikamata glue hautaamini.

Actually, not to change the real thing, but to have a remixed version that the youth can easily identify with and at least grasp the lyrics. Was shocked when my 3 year old niece recited the bongo hit "kidato kimoja" to the last word..............imagine 'najua mtu halazimishwi kupendaaaa....anapenda mwenyewe' from such a tiny soul!

i agree. i think i would want it to sound more....21st century...Would it require some legal authority stuff to mix it?

@Simo,

Wewe endelea 'kuchoma' tu.

Utachikwo,ufinywo, ukonyorwo kishwa kabisa ni sirikari tukufu
I Think Therefore I Am
