On taffe pour une chemise alors qu’on rêve d’un empire Signe extérieur de richesse pour masquer nos faiblesses J’étais stylé avant Kanye je portais jeans troué avec quatre ourlets Marinière Gaultier, lunette Oakley, Papa Wemba est-ce que tu connais ? Ne porte pas de jeans car je ne suis pas mécanicien Je suis tellement soin qu’on m’appelle le médecin Tendancieux, Japonais, Chic et rebelle Frigo vide et armoire pleine Au nom du père, du fils et du Saint Esprit de Fally Sapé comme jaja en Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Gianni, Yoji, Armani Grand prêtre de la sape, disciple Kitendi Nouvelle chaine en or on reste esclave du système Victime de la mode frigo vide armoire pleine Venu pour être diplômé tonton fini par chômer il est docteur soigne sa personnalité L’animal a souffert méfie toi de la bête car elle griffe Je porte de la fourrure mais si j’ouvre la veste je te griffe Au nom du père, du fils et du Saint Esprit de Fally Sapé comme jaja en Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Gianni, Yoji, Armani Grand prêtre de la sape, disciple Kitendi Je me sens comme Kester Emeneya, Stavros niarkos, Papa Wemba Na poto exam na Kinshasa proclamation Boddhi Satva nous béni par invocation Bien habillé parfumé et bien chaussé, looké fashion le congolais écossais Mokoto croco, cuiranta à damier le sol s’illumine quand je touche le pavé Weston, Rolex sur le nez Cartier, Stevros Niarkos est-ce que tu connais ?

about

Dubbed “the founding father of Ancestral Soul” by BBC, Central African DJ and Producer Boddhi Satva has joined forces with Congolese-Belgian rap artist Badi.

“KITENDI” is a sartorial anthem dropped on a tantalizing trap beat. For the music video, Director Gilles Geek captured the artists and Café Barge’s eclectic crowd in Paris. The motion picture pays homage to legendary African musicians Stervos Niarcos, Papa Wemba and Kester Emeneya who pioneered “La SAPE” fashion movement in the 1960s.

Meaning “clothes” in Lingala*, KITENDI video was art directed by London-based dandies Sam Lambert and Shaka Maidoh of ACF with vintage styling by Amah Ayivi, Founder of Marché Noir.
A cameo appearance of Fashion Academic Sissi Johnson in a signature afro encapsulates the blaxploitation feel of the video.

“This is Kitendi.”
*a language from Congo
