Kauthar Hassan – Aibu Utaona Wewe Ft Sheby Kinanda Classic Band

Tanzanian Taarab singer Kauthar Hassan teams up with Sheby Kinanda Classic Band for a brand-new modern Taarab track titled “Aibu Utaona Wewe.”

Released on September 18, 2026, “Aibu Utaona Wewe” carries the unmistakable sound of contemporary Swahili Taarab, blending expressive storytelling, coastal rhythms, lively instrumentation, and the sharp lyrical style associated with Mipasho.

The song addresses jealousy, betrayal, fake friendships, and people who secretly wish others badly while pretending to be close to them.

Throughout the track, Kauthar delivers a confident message to her detractors, making it clear that she is no longer interested in unnecessary drama or competing over relationships. Instead, her focus is on moving forward, making money, and protecting her peace.

One of the song’s strongest messages comes from the idea that some people may smile, eat, and spend time with you while secretly working against you. Rather than responding with fear, the singer warns that such behavior will eventually bring embarrassment to the person behind it.

“Aibu Utaona Wewe” also carries a spiritual element, with references to rejecting negative energy and trusting the position God has placed her in.

The track features rich coastal instrumentation and an energetic Modern Taarab/Mduara arrangement, with Shabani Salumu Adam contributing to the musical and sound production.

kumbe ndio adui yangu

Aibu utaona wewe
mwenye sifa za kijinga.”
