Ugandan artist Sqoop Larma has a new one out called “Nebilungi Byogere,” and it’s been picking up steam online since it dropped in May.
The phrase itself means “speak of good things,” and that’s basically the heart of the song. Sqoop Larma sings about letting go of negativity and choosing a more hopeful outlook, no matter what’s going on around you.
There’s a popular Luganda line in there too, “siganye ndi mubi naye n’ebilungi byogere,” which fans have been quoting a lot on TikTok lately. It’s simple, but it sticks with you after a few listens.
Sound-wise, “Nebilungi Byogere” mixes local Ugandan rhythms with a light Afrobeat touch, so it feels both familiar and current. Larma keeps his vocals steady and unforced, letting the message carry itself instead of overdoing the emotion.
The instrumentation stays warm without getting too busy. Considering how often it’s showing up in lyric clips and covers, “Nebilungi Byogere” looks set to stick around for a while. Worth checking out if you need a little positivity today.
