An adorable group of Ugandan youngsters showcase their impressive dance skills in a toe-tapping new music video.
The girls and boys, who are no older than 15 years old, are seen performing splits, body isolations and headstands as they bop along to the track Jambole by Eddy Kenzo.
An excitable toddler, wearing a onsie and bright yellow rain boots also joins the fun, following the lead from his elders.
And a little girl in a pink dress is encouraged to get involved, despite being a less confident dancer than her peers.
Kenzo, a 25-year-old East African singer, has gained recognition for his unique music videos, which use local talent and natural settings instead of high-priced sets.
In his latest video, the band of young performers congregate on the front lawn of a house.
They wear casual clothing instead of elaborate costumes and some dancers even appear with mud on their knees.
At the beginning of the track, each child takes it in turns to perform a solo stunt.
Their moves appear to be a combination of improvisation and chorography.
They eventually all synchronize, with the tiny toddler getting in on the act.
To date the music video has been watched more than 150,000 since it was uploaded to YouTube on June 17.
It’s not the first video that Kenzo from Masaka, Uganda, has crafted with children dancing to his tunes.
His earlier hit, Sitya Loss – which has garnered more than 3.3million YouTube hits – also features young talent.
Kenzo launched a petition earlier this year to try and get his dancers featured on the Ellen show in a bid to give them global recognition.
‘Watching these kids dance clearly . . . [shows] Ugandans being very happy talented people,’ he wrote.
‘Ellen we ask you to host these talented kids on your show so that Americans can get a chance
to see how WE the Africans groove.’
