UPDATE: Kenya Dance has been solved! After years of dead ends, Discord user 'Damn Peggy' found the original song by using a very simple, but entirely effective KZfaq search. It was found on 3rd December 2023. The song is actually called "Katonda Alinawe" by "David SonJC". You can hear the entire song, and see the music video below!
Katonda Alinawe: • Katonda alinawe, Ugand...
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Here's my cover of the 3 second sample we have of the mysterious 'Kenya Dance' song. Made popular a Filthy Frank video, people have been searching for the original artist and full song for years. It's a catchy tune!
Original here: • Filthy Frank Kenya Son...
Lyrics I used (Apologies for pronunciation!) : Ono omwana atuzaalidwa, omulenzi atuweleddwa
Please do let me know if you recognise this song or have any kind of helpful information that could aid in tracking it down! Enjoy!

Wow, thank you Joe. This very good Luganda. I saw this video a few weeks ago but I had no idea you produced it 2 years ago. It makes me believe everything I am reading and hearing. Thank you again. Katonda abele nawe. David SonJC: @DavidMuwanguzi-tu2xc

what if the "kenya dance" was made by one of filthy franks friends or someone he knows, and wasnt actually on the internet prior to his video, thats the most likely explanation that i can think of, i really dont think filthy frank would choose a random ass song in a kenyan language that nobodys ever heard before or found
