A well matched video was released for the high energy track, "Bachette"  by Bamzigi ft. Kaytrixx from Kenya. DJ Kaytrixx comments in a youtube post, "Bachette is a word in the 3050 dictionary....Anything u want it o mean..it can mean a boob, a woman, whatever u want it to mean....lol...." 3050 represents Kenyan music, and the track comes from a new Kenyan sound Bamzigi is responsible for called "Mizuka" - a combination of Kapuka and Electronic/House. At 155 bpm this track is bonkers - we particularly enjoyed the video.
