Hey there, how is your weekend so far? It is sunday you know we do music review.
I have been listening to this song all week and watching the video, though the video was released back in May, I hadn't watched it yet, but the song, great.
Haiwi Haiwi, released and performed by Wendy Kimani and BienAime of Sauti Sol. I know by now you're thinking I'm obsessed with sauti sol, but naah, I love their tunes though.
Wendy Kimani is a former Tusker Project Fame contestant, though she didn't win the cash price, she's doing extremely well out here in the industry and you should check out her other videos.
Haiwi Haiwi, is a conversation between the two, starts with Bien who obviously is trying to get Wendy but complains that she is playing hard to get. But Bien goes ahead to say that he's an artist and the world is round and that she will still bring herself back to him, really though?
Then the refrain; note that the chorus is sang by the artists one at a time, gives the song a unique touch, wouldn't be conversation without that element.
So it's Wendy's turn. She boasts of how she is missed by people in town,by that I think she means Bien. Then she continues to say that he's still a youth while she is a grown mature woman, lastly she says that Wendy is a big name.
Did I mention that the song is sang in Swahili? Haiwi means something close to "it can't be". So it adds up to the song's context. The beats are good and appealing, produced by Mushking.
The video is awesome, the setting is relevant.
There is a part in the song where Bien says "... Twende Date Ya Supaghetti, Kwenye Corner Laico Regency,.... " to which Wendy replies "... Nasiendi Laico Regency Kimbelembele Ugali Mbichi"..
The background looks something to Laico Regency, can't tell if Laico Regency, never been there. The director did an awesome job.
So Bien walks into the bar, sews Wendy and tries to hit on her but in vain. He even offers to buy her and her girls a drink but Wendy walks out of the premises, fortunately or not, she forgets her phone on her table. Bien picks up the phone and takes it her outside to her car, she's left speechless, and that ladies and gents is the start of a happy ever after, probably, to see the video, click here.
