With his trademark ability to tell authentic Swahili stories, Kontawa delivers “Sobibo”—a compelling song that dives into the everyday struggles of young men hustling to create a better future.
Both comic and poetic, “Sobibo” brings to life the tale of a young man whose grandmother urges him to leave Sobibo Street—a place marked by hardship and limited opportunity—if he hopes to achieve true success. The video not only entertains but also shines a light on the real challenges faced in Tanzanian neighborhoods.
