Sauti Sol premieres the Rhumba Japani video feat. Bensoul, Nviiri the Storyteller, Xenia Manasseh, Okello Max, NHP.

Off Sauti Sol’s fifth studio project, “Midnight Train“, comes this great record.

Days before the release of the video, the group revealed that the song was an ode to a Congolese band called Rhumba Japan they used to go and listen in the city before they become famous.

This is a Congolese band called Rhumba Japan. We used to go watch them play at Simmers after our band practice till late to avoid rush hour bus fare, because that’s when it was affordable to go home. Rhumba Japani is an ode to them & the significance of those times in our journey.

Quotable lyrics

Kuna Rhumba for all you niggas ila
Rhumba Japani ndio Rhumba
Kuna Rhumba ya state house iko chini ya maji
Kuna Rhumba ya bunge
Ya majambazi Ukileta ujinga Utalala ndani ‘
Kuna Rhumba for all you niggas lakini
Rhumba Japani ndio Rhumba Hapa ni wapi, tume zungukwa na shisha na shashamani, mapochopocho na vinywaji mbali mbali, wengine wanatapika wakizirai…
