Diamond Platnumz and Fally Ipupa released a banger last week dubbed ‘Inama,’ and in true stan fashion, all of East Africa is in on the Kibaskeli Dance Challenge.
The track that was released online on May 3rd is a great mix of genres, as Taarab and Lingala marry together for a great track. With simple beats and even better melodies from the duo of the Boy from Tandale and Congolese crooner Ipupa; the track is a winner.

The track has continued to grow in popularity, garnering over 1M views on YouTube within 3 days. With it trending, fans quickly responded with a dance challenge; and Simba offered all the props to those who showed up and showed out.

A bus-load of middle-aged women could not hold back their excitement. The women clad in “Zari Boss Lady” t-shirts were more than just a little eager to show off their dance skills.
