Sauti Sol-Bebe Cool launch dance competition for Kenyan and Ugandan female fans
Award winning Kenyan boy band Sauti Sol and Ugandan singer Bebe Cool will be giving away Sh51,000 ($500) to a female fan who wins their newly launched dance competition.
Sauti Sol and Bebe Cool have just released a new song titled, Mbozi za Malwa, and with it have initiated a dance contest between Kenyans girls and Ugandan girls.
The winner from each country will get to go head to head with each other. The winner will then be announced by Bebe Cool on April 26th and will get ‘bragging rights’ of being The Best Dancer/s of East Africa, a chance to hang out with an artiste of their choosing between Sauti Sol and Bebe Cool plus the 500 dollars cash price.
The contest will run from April 17th to the 26th. The rules are as follows:
Create your own dance video or with friends, record and upload on Instagram using the hashtag #MbozizaMalwa. Sauti Sol will repost videos from Kenya while Bebe Cool repost videos from Uganda. Sauti Sol will pick the Kenyan winner/s and Bebe Cool to pick Ugandan winners
Mbozi za Malwa is Luganda for conversations that usually take place when friends are having a drink at their local joint. Written by Yesse Oman Rafiki and Sauti Sol, the song has a dancehall vibe and was recorded in Kampala, Uganda. Produced by Danz, co- arranged by Sauti Sol, the song was mixed and mastered by Ogopa Inc.
“In many African communities if you want to know the latest gossip in around the communities, visit a local bar or high end bar with friends for a drink and all talk will rotate around what is making news in the community,” Bebe Cool explained.
“We had an amazing time working with Bebe Cool. Our East African fans have been requesting for this and we hope they will love it as we do,” Sauti Sol added in a statement.
