iPhoolish Premiers “Gongo” On YouTube.

By Brenda Ochwald. Cheers to a good drinking song! What do drinking and music have in common? Both of them have their way of connecting people and here’s a song that will bring us together. From iPhoolish’s recently released EP tagged Yinga stands his number 5 song produced by Vic West, Gongo, which he features Fathermoh and Thee Exit Band. As per the chorus, Gongo tells a story of how the boys tend to behave when they get drunk, they act like children going further to “burn” or rather spoil their names at a place. They sing: Nikilewa napenda utoto It is a weekend tunachoma photo Tulewe fofo fofo fofo Nibebwe gongo gongo gongo Alcohol is a disinhibitor that tends to amplify certain personality traits for instance, aggression in some people while others tend to be amicable, others giddy while other calm. Gongo is such a fun song, and you’d relate to the song’s chorus from the start till end. This is a good club song once the alcohol hits your system and all you want to do is get up and dance. Check out the lyric video out now on YouTube or the audio available on all digital streaming platforms. Cheers! https://youtu.be/RdW_7aigqK4
