"Kasongo" is a fiery and unapologetic Kalpop anthem that takes aim at political oppression, corruption, and social injustice. With its infectious rhythm, catchy hooks, and hard-hitting lyrics, the track blends the powerful storytelling of Afrobeat with the rebellious energy of sebene-infused Kalpop.

El Klassik Band, alongside DON SANTO (@DonSantoMusic) and Sleek Whizz (@SleekWhizz), delivers a bold critique of leadership failures, addressing issues like economic inequality, youth disenfranchisement, and systemic corruption. Sung in a vibrant mix of Swahili, Sheng, and Lingala, "Kasongo" captures the pulse of a restless generation demanding change.

The track's compelling blend of satire, resilience, and cultural pride makes it both a protest anthem and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of the people. With lines like “Kenya sio shamba la bibi yako!” and “Nyota zetu unazima kwa risasi,” the song becomes a rallying cry for justice and accountability, proving once again that El Klassik Band is not just making music—they’re starting movements.

Get ready to chant, dance, and reflect as "Kasongo" spreads its powerful "#Bandemic" vibes across borders!

THE LYRICS:
BPM: 109

[Verse 1: DON SANTO]
Kasongo yeye, iye! 
Bwana wa kusema bila kutenda, oya président na ngai
Kasongo wewe, iye! yeah iye!
Lakini matendo yako ni ngano za kusimuliwa kwa hofu,
Umejawa uongo, hata hatukuhofu
Kichwa nacho ujeuri, hata kwa madhabahu
Watoto nchi wanapotea bila sababu,
Wengine wana majeraha ya roho na mwili,

[Pre-chorus]
Nyota,
Za vijana zimezimwa kwa risasi,
Huku wazazi ni stressi
Tunasema you must go,
Mchaka mchaka!

[Chorus]
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!
Kenya sio shamba la bibi yako!
Kenya sio makalio yako!
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!
Sisi tutakuaibisha bonzo!
Na tena hatuogopi kifo!

[Verse 2: Sleek Whizz]
Mwenzako sina hela
Mwenzako kateseka,
Huku najengewa
Kwengine ninabomolewa,
Sina pa kulala, mwenzako naibiwa mchana!
Natamani kulewa lakini mfuko ni hewa,
Mr. Kasongo, unapenda uongo! X 2
It’s the way that you lie, lie bila haya,
Hakuna kazi, waheshimiwa hawafanyi kazi! (Mr. Kasongo, unapenda uongo!)
Wafanyikazi, na wengi hawaoni ganji.

[Chorus]
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!
Oh, Batoto ba Klassik
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!

[Verse 3: DON SANTO]
"Na Kalpop oyo, tozongisa makoki ya mboka, ee!"
(With this Kalpop, we are reclaiming the rights of our nation!)
"Oyé Kasongo, na bozalí ya lokuta, kasí mbóka ezali ya bato!"
(Oh Kasongo, with your lies, but the country belongs to the people!)
"Boíndima te! Soki tokolɛla, tokolɛla na ndéngé!"
(Don't accept this! If we cry, we cry with style!)
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!
"Kasongo, bolingo té!"
(Kasongo, no love!)
"Kenya sio shama la bibi yako, yoyoyo!"
(Kasongo, no love!)
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!

[Pre-Chorus]
Buana,
Nyota zetu unazima kwa risasi,
Huku wazazi ni stressi
Tunasema you must go,
Mchaka mchaka!

[Chorus]
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!
Kenya sio shamba la bibi yako! Yeah
Kenya sio matako yako, baba!
Kasongo! Kasongo! Kasongo!

Tututu!
Chaka ah ah! Chiki ah ah!
Bana ba Klassik, banapendaga Kalpop!"
(Klassikans love Kalpop!)
And that’s Kalpop!"
