Katonda Alinawe (or by its placeholder name "Kenya Dance") was a song played for three seconds on a Filthy Frank video, starting a whole search for not just the title, but for the full version of the song
Background
On January 14, 2013, Youtuber “Filthy Frank” (now known as Joji) posted a now-removed video called “How to pick up girls in 30 different cultures”.[1][2] During one point, a three-second snippet of a song plays while Joji dances as a stereotypical Kenya man before being cutoff.[2] Fans started to immediately wonder what the song was called and asked Joji what it was named to which he said he also didn’t know and doesn’t remember where he found it[1][2]
Lyrics and Language
It is widely believed that the song was sung in the Lugandan language in Ugandan. It was also found out that the song was a Christian song because of the lyrics[1]:
Ono omwana atuzaalidwa,
omulenzi atuweleddwa
Translates to a verse from the Bible, stating:
For unto us a child is born
Unto us a son is given
Dark Web Speculation
One point In December 21, 2015, a video named "NEW African Cristiano Ronaldo - AMAZING Long Shot HD" was posted by a channel named “TM2” which uses the same song.[3][1] The video shows a kid kicking a ball and going nowhere. Fans asked where TM2 got it, he said that he got it from the deep web for 10 dollars, spreading a whole theory that Joji had got it from the deep web.[3] Though this was very unlikely for Joji to do so and TM2 possibly said it as a joke[3]
Availability
With people searching for the song, no other leads have happened. Only the three-second snippet of the song was found.
On December 3rd, 2023, User “damn peggy” gave a DM to nbduckman, a YouTuber who made a video talking about the song and gave a bounty for $300 if anyone finds the song, a link to a YouTube video uploaded in 2011 of a song named “Katonda Alinawe” stating:
“33 second mark I’m literally shaking right now”
And on the 33-second mark was the 3-second snippet that was used in the Filthy Frank video, finally rendering it found.
