Swahili: the “moto moto” language of East Africa

An American production company shot a movie scene where a messenger was expected to rush in, collapse and pant out an important message in Swahili. The company was even able to find a native who could speak Swahili well for the part. Everything worked out well until the movie was shown in an African town where Swahili was the local language. Locals burst out into laughter when instead of quoting his lines the messenger panted out “I am not being paid enough for this part,” in Swahili. Swahili has been incorporated in a number of movies, music videos and comic series. The phrase hakuna matata, which means no worries, is widely associated with the Lion King Series, which also included songs which had Swahili in them. The animation, Madagascar 2, has characters with Swahili names such as Moto Moto which literally translates to “hot hot”. Michael Jackson’s song, Liberian Girl, starts with the Swahili words for “I love you too, I want you too, my love.”
