Kenyan Gospel artist Kevin Mbuvi, popularly known as Bahati, has released a new song featuring Dennis Karanja, alias Denno, dubbed Bado.
The song, shot in a slum-like background, has a message of inspiration to the audience with the two seemingly asking God to urge them, when life gets tough, that ‘bado‘; which is a Swahili word meaning ‘not yet’, to imply that they still have a long way to go.
“Kuna wakati nafika mwisho niambie bado, kuna wakati nawaza sivyo niambie bado, nikumbushe bado, niambie bado,” sings Bahati.
The song goes on to highlight some of challenges which push them to the limits including joblessness, education, infidelity, rent, cancer treatment etc.
Denno, who rose to fame with the song Mbona featuring Daddy Owen, goes on to sing how he his blindness has caused him to never even seen the face of his wife besides also missing to see the stars shining and the sun rising.
The two previously worked on the hit song Stori Yangu, after which – according to Bahati – Denno faced a myriad of challenges in life, especially financially.
In an Instagram post prior to the song’s release, Bahati stated that all of Denno’s music will now be paid for by his record label, EMB Entertainment.
