Watch The Basics Get In Touch With Kenyan Culture In New Clip

Stalwart Aussie outfit The Basics have unveiled yet another taste from their forthcoming full-length album The Age Of Entitlement with the colourful new video clip for their tribally influenced cut Tunaomba Saidia.

To ensure the accompanying clip evoked a sense of authenticity, The Basics travelled to Nairobi and Machakos Town, in Kenya, conscripting a crew entirely sourced from the local population to put together their vision.

Those with a keen ear may pick up on a seeming incongruity between the song's lyrics, which detail harrowing experiences lived by humans dwelling in war-torn African countries, and its ebullient, upbeat instrumentals. However, the band say this is all perfectly intentional, telling a YouTube commenter who noted the discrepancy: "You are correct, but the song also serves an an homage to the Benga style of music and video-making that inspired it, and it was all conceived, produced, choreographed and shot by a local Kenya crew."

Check it out below.

The clip was edited by Tyga and Melburnian filmmaker Ryan Gaskett, with production by DJ Kinyash and The Basics. The Age Of Entitlement will be released on 14 August. Pre-orders are available now via the band's website. Order before 14 July to score a free badge-button and 'Postcards From Abbey Road' collection.
