‘Kuna Kuna’ Was Inspired By A Woman’s Sexy Waist’-Vic West

By Isaac Tugume

Kenyan world-class music producer Vic West has finally revealed what inspired him to hatch the idea for his chartbuster jam ‘Kuna Kuna’, which features Fathermoh, Savara, Brandy Maina and Thee Exit Band.

Speaking on the VIP Access Podcast on Tuesday, Vic West revealed that he was inspired to come up with ‘Kuna Kuna’ after hugging a babe with a nice waist.

“I hugged this chic. She had a nice waist. She is my friend. She will probably watch this …” Vic West told the Podcast host  Anyiko Owoko.

He went on to confess that: “So in my mind I told myself; I will write a song about a waist. Like a couple of weeks later, I was in the studio alone. I was just vibing, no beats. Just listening to random stuff on the internet. And then the words came to me from nowhere. I recorded that on the phone. Then I decided it should be  Something like a chorused-chorus.  Where people are not singing perfectly. It’s like you’ve been to a club and there is a popular song everyone is singing to. It is like a disorganised organised choir. Where everybody is singing.”

Vic West also noted that;  “That was the vision. We had to come out that way. Not like so perfect. So, the following week, I think two days later, I brought Thee Exit Band to record the chorus. They came with a perfect singing. I told them no, I don’t want that. They wanted to do the perfect….no! I told them; go in there, sing as if you’re drunk. Like you’re just a crowd. And then they did that and they sounded good. And then I put the chords and later sent it to Brandy. Brandy liked it and she came. She murdered her verse! With this song, I was sort of a prophet. I told her; ‘You’ve written the verse of the year!’”

Just like Vic West says, he was indeed some sort of prophet on this project, because ‘Kuna Kuna’ has since turned out to be the biggest Kenyan sing in the recent past, with over 15.9M YouTube views and still counting.
