This song is by Kenyan musician and gospel minister Chris Ngonye, who is from the town of Machakos and has a whole bunch more music here, and I’m going to say that if you need cheering up on a cold and damp Tuesday, you could do a lot worse than go and listen to all of it.

This one, though, is our selection for today. My proficient Swahili allows me to tell you that its title translates as “Christmas Holidays”, although further attempts to translate the lyrics resulted in my internet telling me it’s in Indonesian, which it isn’t, so I gave up.

Anyway it doesn’t matter because the best thing about this video is the dancing: this is one where it’s important you watch as well as listen.

Krismasi Njema!
