Musician Alikiba landed in Kenya for the much-anticipated New Years Eve show Raha Fest.

"Expect to have fun today, New Years Eve. I was invited to perform and entertain my Kenyan fans, I'm excited to be in Kenya to wrap up the year, so they should expect fun," he revealed.

The King of Bongo flavor spoke to Mpasho's Kalondo Musyimi at the Jomo Kenyatta International airport shortly after landing.

"I feel I'm so lucky to do a show in Kenya on New Years Eve."

He will be sharing a stage with many other performers. He told what he is looking forward to.

"I am looking forward to their performances, and if an opportunity arises, I would love to collabo."

He celebrated 20 years in the Music Industry and spoke of blessings in 2024.

"It has been very positive. I praise God even for good health. I am doing well and ask for more health and strength to get new ideas next year.

"There are however things he admitted to doing away with......It's those wishes,...no one knows what's ahead, so I wish 2025 will positive even for everyone. May we all have a prosperous New Year," he shared.

Kiba also spoke about his rate card, as compared to his Tanzanian counterparts.

"I can't mention how much, but I am being paid. That's what I can say I don't do free work, but I am paid. It's very personal." 

He lightly spoke of the showoff nature of some artistes and their performance fees.

On the matter of Kenyan music not getting enough airplay in Tanzania, Kiba dismissed such claims.

"On that issue of Kenyan music not being played, please we need each other because we are neighbours, but besides being neighbours, if we are to have beef, we won't have that identity we won't have that unity as East Africans, with shared interests in music.

These stories of saying that one person can bring problems, in an entire continent, let's say me I have wronged Otile Brown, if he wrongs me, I can't blame Kenyans and say this is Kenyans habits.

Sema Otile ndio tabia yake. Thats how family is. If have a problem with a Kenyan artiste, don't shift blame to the entire Tanzanian industry. Sema Ali Kiba ndio alivyo, ametukosea, that is how it should be, we are East Africans, we need to move forward, there are many," he finished.
