SARABI is a unit and they thrive to show the same on stage with music that centers on Social Justice and is the bold voice of the youth. The music itself is electric, engaging, emotional and still hard hitting. With energy as a central element, it is a blend of traditional East African rhythms, Benga and Afro Beat, fused with Rock and Reggae.
In 2013, SARABI released a single Fuata Sheria (Respect the law). The song was SARABIs summary of Kenya at 50 years and highlights major corruption scandals that have never been resolved despite the formation of numerous tribunals.
Their social engagements extend to their own neighborhoods, from teaching kids from the informal settlement of Kibera, to mentorships for kids in the ghettos or as they call it, The Humble Kingdom.
In 2016 a documentary film about SARABI, their story and their music, titled Music is Our Weapon was premiered. It is a film about the power of music as a tool for social change. SARABI have recently been appointed as the Kenyan Ambassadors for African Artists Peace Initiative (AAPI).
