Recently, the video of him singing our national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ on Republic Day became very viral. A few days ago, he paid a soulful tribute to Lata didi by singing a song. I sincerely appreciate these two siblings, Kili and Neema, for this beautiful creativity. He was also honoured at the Indian Embassy in Tanzania a few days ago.
Increase in popularity after singing Rataan Lambiya
Getting so much respect for someone’s talent by the PM is a significant achievement in itself. Kili and Neema have done perfectly lip-sync on many songs of Indian films. After the song Ratan Lambiya from the movie Shershah, his popularity had increased a lot. Both sing as well as dance in their traditional Maasai clothes. Everyone likes this way of their entertainment on social media.

For recording her songs on the phone, Kili has to charge the phone by going to another place two hours away from her village. He remembers the lines of the music for lip sync and understands its meaning. Then both the brothers and sisters present Indian songs with perfection. It is the result of his hard work that the dominance of his talent is resonating in India as well.
