Capso 'bewitched' by muthi booty

MUSICIAN Jimmy Muteba, popularly known as Capso, got too excited and stretched it a bit about his experience with women.

The Afro-pop musician, known to local fans for his debut album 'Things are as they Are', which spawned the highly circulated song 'Afrika', has released a rather provocative song titled 'Muthi In Her Booty', which is likely to irk his female fans with his sexist lyrics.

The single, in which he collaborates with Mxo, has been played at clubs and is due for release this weekend.

It narrates his own experience a year ago about an incident when he caught himself watching a woman from behind as he was going up the stairs and he could not help himself from staring at her curvaceous behind.

"The song tells a story about a gifted woman who has an amazing 'booty','' he says.

"As I was going up, I was looking at this woman clad in those black tight pants and as she was moving up I could not stop staring.

"I was like, damn girl, you got some muthi in your booty," he says, explaining the bewitching effect.

Fortunately, Capso recalls that the girl only laughed off his comments.

The lyrics, which may be seen as disrespectful and may offend some women, go something like this: "She's got some muthi, hey, in her booty... and when she shakes it everybody wanna do it, do it".

The artist says he was so inspired that he excitedly headed home and quickly wrote the song, but it took him 11 months to release the song.

"It normally takes me a month to complete a full song, but with this one I took my time as I was not really in any hurry," says Capso.

After composing it, he says Mxo was blown away by the beat and they worked on it, right there and then.

Singer Mxo confirmed he is featured on the song, saying it is a harmless appreciation of the African female form.

"It is a happy song and it celebrates African women and their booty as a beautiful thing," he says.

"The song is right as Spring is around the corner."
