Eddy Kenzo – “Sitya Loss” (Video)
May 10, 2014
I fell in love with this song ever since I saw a youtube video of a few kids in Africa dancing too it. At the time I had no idea of who the artist was & had to take the time to track it down. Eventually I discovered the song was from Musuuza Edrisa who is a popular artist in East African widely known as “Eddy Kenzo”. The Ugandan born artist’s song ‘Sitya Loss’ is going viral in popularity thanks in large part to the original youtube video of the kids dancing in the clip. The video of the kids dancing has become so popular it’s even spawned various remixes like the Stanton Warrior’s video of ‘Loving Me Wrong’. Check out this brand new video from Eddy Kenzo as he joins the kids that made the song become more popular internationally. The remixes & original videos I’ve included after the jump.

Racist? Well… um… noooo. Of course not. It’s just a “delicate situation”… just don’t want to lose our country to them… That’s basically what Israeli right-wingers are saying. Why does racist rhetoric always sound the same? Great investigative reporting by The Nation.
‘About 60,000 African migrants have arrived in Israel since 2006, fleeing unrest in their home countries. But upon arrival in the ostensibly democratic country, the migrants have faced intense persecution and have been branded as “infiltrators” by right-wing politicians and activists.’
– The Nation
And shout out to Mr. Davey D over at The Daily Beast for bringing this shameful aspect of Israeli life into clear view on our scope. We’re aware now. Best believe…
