· Leave a comment ·

Ali Saleh Kiba, commonly referred to as Alikiba or affectionately known as King Kiba, is a renowned Tanzanian singer and songwriter. He is widely acknowledged as one of the premier musical talents in East Africa, establishing himself as a significant figure in the Bongo Flava genre. Currently, he makes a striking comeback with an exhilarating new single titled “Ubuyu” a certified hit poised to dominate the airwaves!

“Ubuyu” marks Alikiba’s innovative foray into Singeli music from Tanzania. The title translates to “gossip” in Kiswahili, and the fast-paced track critiques social rumors and sensationalism. Released in mid-June 2025, it showcases incisive lyrics set against a vibrant Singeli beat signifying a daring evolution in his musical style.

Alikiba performing “Ubuyu“, presents the unfiltered truth exchanged in the streets, the type of discourse that has yet to reach the news, yet resonates loudly in daily conversations. In this track, Alikiba taps into the heartbeat of the community, utilizing the dynamic rhythms of Vanga and Singeli not merely for entertainment, but as a means of expression. This is more than just a beat; it is a portrayal of society’s hidden realities, conveyed through dance. A voice for the marginalized, wrapped in sound.
