It’s V-Be time! Meet the new sheriffs in Kenya’s music Vijana Barubaru

3 mins read

V-Be famously known as Vijana Barubaru have taken over the airwaves. This is the kind of music we’ve always fought to be supported at 100% airplay, not even 75.

If you are not listening or jamming to V-Be what are you on though?

As a great lover of good music and an enthusiast of Kenyan music, Vijana Barubaru has captured my attention and that of many Kenyans; who believe there are alternative artists, with great content, and talent and are up for the task.

The only challenge these amazing artists face; they are just underrated for whatever reason given, unbelievable!

Vijana Barubaru is the creators of Sasa Hivi, a hit R& B love song that is currently going viral on all social media and music streaming platforms.

V-Be or rather Vijana Barubaru is made of two young men in pursuit for greatness; the melodious Tukukantu and rapper Mwana wa Wambui. Tukukantu’s talent reminds me of Marvin Scandrick better known as Slim; the lead singer for the American R& B group 112.

Vijana Barubaru has an amazing EP out already, the PROVEN EP,  You should check it out!

Their viral hit Sasa Hivi which features the equally talented and beautiful singer Ashley Music has given them instant notoriety and authority, the industry is theirs now for the taking.

Stream and watch the record below by the same lot who brought you ‘Urembo Ni Bonus’;

Part of the catchy Sasa Hivi lyrics:

Soon ntakusave na love emoji nitoe official namePDA bila uwoga juu licence ni peteI’ll buy some boxers, you can share with meUwache kuvisit uishi na meKifunguu nkutolee copy usizubae kwa gateVitunguu tutoane ngozi uchi ujionyesheSi valentines nikueke archives pale kwa TVL’azma uolewe and it must be meKesho yetu usifananishe na janaL’ami na reli hazitoshani upanaUchumi mbaya but I’ll spend my todays with youLeo ikona guarantee
Ntakuita wangu kabla uitwe na maulanaYou’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersNtakupenda sahii na ka si sahiiNi sasa hiviNtakuita wangu kabla uitwe na maulanaYou’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersNtakupenda sahii na ka si sahiiNi sasa hivi
Sasa hiviSasa hivi, sasa hiviNtakupenda sahii – @V-BE LYRICS

They only need to go hard, back to back! By mid-2023, it will be a V-Be year.
