Legendary Kenyan artist Nonini has delighted Kenyans by redoing his 2004 hit "Nibebe," a collaboration with legendary Coastal songbird Nyota Ndogo.
The song with a new title, Nibebe 2.0, once again features Nyota Ndogo with her usual sweet voice. Nibebe is among the throwback songs that never fade from people's minds. This song came at a time when Kenyan music industry was leading in East Africa.
Produced by Ogopa DJs, “Nibebe 2.0” marks the first time the rapper has collaborated with Lucas of Ogopa DJs, despite the historic competition and rivalry between Calif Records and Ogopa DJs during Nonini’s heydays.
