Friends School Senende boys have lit up the internet with a Rhumba song by the late popular Congolese musician Madilu System.

Boys perform for William Ruto

The boys from Senende performed at the Kenya National Music Festivals, and so good was their performance that they won the competition and went on to perform for President William Ruto at the Eldoret State Lodge.

During the performance, which was met with screams of approval from the audience, the boys belted out the lyrics in perfect rendition, arranged in alto and base.

There were also trumpets, drums, and percussive instruments, all of which made for a lively and sweet live performance.

They not only sang the song but also danced themselves lame, changing moves with such precision and agility that they earned more screams from the audience.

"The energy is electric as Senende Boys High School performs zilizopendwa with live instruments, showcasing why they are the defending champions of this nostalgic East African genre," said Mary on Twitter after watching the performance.
