Ali Kiba Releases New Song 'Mshumaa', Begs Estranged Kenyan Wife Amina to Return Home

Celebrated Tanzanian singer Ali Kiba has released a new song that appears to be dedicated to his estranged Kenyan wife, Amina Khalef.

In the song dubbed ‘Mshumaa’, the bongo flavor star begs Ms. Amina to come back in his life as he misses her.

“Nakumiss…Tena! Tutonana, Hata Mungu akipanga leo nikufe kesho, tutaonana tena,” Ali Kiba sings.

(I miss you…if God plans I die tomorrow, we will meet again.)

“Labda nikukumbushe, Nilipokuvisha pete, Ulisema machache, Hauniachi mpaka nife. Uwepo wako ndio ulikua wangu uzima.”

(Let me remind you, when I put a ring on you, you said you’ll never leave me until I die. Your presence was my being.)

In September, the award-winning singer confirmed that they were having issues in their marriage and had sent Amina back to her parents’ home in Mombasa.

“Honestly, in the recent past, we had disagreed but my mother solved it. She told us that marriage life needs patience and has a lot of challenges, and the devil doesn’t like people in the union,” he said.

He added, “It is true that my wife and I have issues, which is normal to any couple. I returned her to her parent’s home myself. I wanted her to also go back to work, I then traveled to Europe.” 

Kiba, 31, and Amina, 24, tied the knot in April 2018 in two lavish wedding ceremonies held in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam. Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho was among the guests in the event.

The couple welcomed their first-born child -a boy - in February this year.
