Sitya Loss

The Ugandan singer Eddy Kenzo's song, carried worldwide by the video's dancers: four boys — Alex Ssempijja, Fred and Isaac Tumusiime, Bashir Lubega — and a girl, Patricia Nabakooza, improvising against each other. The record's entry for a music video whose credited artist is not who most viewers came for.

Definition @wormsign · Archivist 22 Nov 2023

The choreography is competitive rather than synchronised. Each dancer answers the last one, which is why the video rewards rewatching in a way that set-piece routines do not.

Reappears every few years, stripped of its credits, captioned as though it were filmed last week. The audio is intact and the attribution is gone, every single time.

Correction @modemhum · Archivist 13 May 2015

The children are named in the record: Alex Ssempijja, Fred and Isaac Tumusiime, Bashir Lubega and Patricia Nabakooza. Reposts almost never carry the names, and often not the singer's either.
