The elements in the song is clearly Lingala, which will make you dance on the floor as soon as you hear it. “Sesa” is good vibe song that I recommend you give it a try.

A song that has good vibes to listen to is this one. To kindly support her listen to Sesa by Ruby herself.

10. Naolewa

The visuals in this video were really well done. Together with the lyrics which you can easily sing to. “Naolewa” which means “I am getting married” is asong that is highly recommended when it comes to having to plan a wedding or having a wedding event that is soon to happen.

Beats, Elements, the voice and the background sound of the guitar were really well done. Honestly this song has shown that Ruby is really talented and it’s sad to see this song not making the 1 million views mark on YouTube. But in the meantime we can appreciate the talent she has for having to release such a nice song like this.

For those who have weddings, this song should end up in your playlist. To complete in full support of having east African artists grow and stay consistent in their lane.
