Brian Manthi, widely known as Kaewa Superstar, has returned with a fresh twist, introducing a reggae hit titled “World Tour.”
Known for his energetic Kamba anthems, Kaewa’s latest single takes a surprising departure with English lyrics and a bold claim he’s the new “Michael Jackson,” set to take the world by storm.
The song opens with a powerful declaration as Kaewa reveals plans to kick off his “world tour” in Congo DRC, the historical heart of Bantu culture.
In his unique style, he sings, “I am MJ the second, the only living one, and ready to tour the world. My first country will be Congo DRC. I need to do some research on the origin of Bantu. We believe humans evolved from monkeys.”
This introspective opening brings a rare cultural depth to the song, blending his usual charm with intellectual curiosity.
Adding to the anticipation, Kaewa a doctor by profession promises his local fans a sensational experience before he ventures abroad.
“The whole Kamba region, MJ is a real vibe come with your sweetheart, we’ll dance till dawn. Nairobi, Mlolongo, Salama, Mombasa Road, Kambu nginya Mutitu, I’m on my way!” he chants, name-dropping Kenyan hotspots and inviting fans to join him in a pre-tour celebration.
With 53,000 views already on YouTube and a spot trending at number 22 even before the video release, “World Tour” is capturing attention.
Over 1,000 comments from fans suggest Kaewa’s leap into reggae and English lyrics has been a hit, signaling an intriguing evolution in his musical journey.
