Wadagliz, the creators behind the viral hit "Anguka Nayo," assert that their music is not confined to the genre of Arbantone—a blend of Gengetone and Jamaican rhythms often associated with younger rappers. Instead, they describe their sound as "Kile Kienyewe," a term that reflects their unique artistic identity.

"Anguka Nayo" has rapidly gained popularity, becoming a sensation on TikTok where users of all ages partake in the challenge inspired by the song. The catchy chorus and infectious rhythm have led to a surge of social media engagement, with many users even adopting the nickname ‘Anguka Nayo’. The song features a logo that depicts a young man dancing, symbolizing the vibrant energy it embodies.

Musically, "Anguka Nayo" draws from DJ Crème’s 2018 hit "Kufa Juu," which celebrates partying and freedom. The song has amassed over two million views on YouTube and has become a cultural touchstone, especially among Gen Z in Kenya, where it has emerged as an anthem for anti-government protests. Its impact has been so profound that it has inspired countless memes and skits, resonating deeply with the sentiments of the youth.

The song's reach has extended beyond local borders, gaining international attention when members of the NBC Universal Family were seen dancing to it, showcasing its global appeal. As "Anguka Nayo" continues to trend, it stands as a powerful expression of Kenyan online activism, encapsulating the spirit of a generation eager for change.
