Obama Dancing To Lipala Already Going Viral!

In a video that’s going viral, US President Barack Obama is spotted shaking a leg with Kenyan pop band Sauti Sol during his first presidential trip to his father’s homeland.

Dancing Obama did Lipala, which is a traditional dance that had a modern makeover this year when popular Kenyan band Sauti Sol made it a hit, as a response to South Korea’s ‘Gangnam Style’.

The band performed the song live for the visiting president—who they referred to as ‘our returning son’ and Obama, along with President Uhuru Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, joined the band in a little dance.

But this trip to Kenya wasn’t all singing and dancing. This is the first time a sitting US President has visited Kenya, or Ethiopia, where Obama traveled on Sunday. When he arrived in Kenya, Obama had an emotional reunion with his sister and other members of his father’s family. And before his departure on Sunday, Obama gave a rousing speech to a Nairobi gymnasium packed with nearly 5,000 cheering Kenyans.
