Kilio Cha Upare

A song made by smanyikemghamba@gmail.com

Kijiji chetu kile, Upare, ah ah!

Leo ninaleta ujumbe wa kweli.

Mlima Kilimanjaro unatuangalia,

Mwangaza wa jua na ardhi yenye baraka.

Vijana wetu leo, wamepotea njia,

Kwenye chupa za gongo, ndoto zimefichika.

Upare inalia, roho inasikitika,

Wapi twaelekea, jamani tumesahau?

Kilio cha Upare, kinagusa moyo wangu,

Vijana amkeni, tupiganie kesho yetu.

Tusiache ulevi, ukatuangamize,

Tujenge Upare mpya, yenye nuru na amani.

Twende!

Shambani hakuna nguvu, shuleni hakuna bidii,

Kazi zote zimesimama, akili imechanganyikiwa.

Wazee wanashangaa, machozi yanawatiririka,

Kwani mmeacha desturi, mmeifuata dunia?

Lakini bado kuna nafasi, ya kurejea salama,

Mkono wa Mungu upo, tutafute amani.

Kilio cha Upare, kinagusa moyo wangu,

Vijana amkeni, tupiganie kesho yetu.

Tusiache ulevi, ukatuangamize,

Tujenge Upare mpya, yenye nuru na amani.

WCB!

Amkeni vijana, Upare inawategemea,

Maisha bora mbele, ndiyo tunayoitaka, poa sana!

❓
Common questions
How will my song appear on Spotify? ▼
Songs are released under the Afrobits label — the artist credit reads "Afrobits feat. <your songwriter name>" on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and every other platform. This lets us handle the platform relationships, rights paperwork and payouts on your behalf, while you get full songwriter credit on every release.
How are royalties split? ▼
Streaming royalties are split 85% to you, 15% to Afrobits. Our 15% covers the distribution infrastructure, royalty collection across 150+ platforms, rights administration and payout handling. Your 85% songwriter share comes to you each payout cycle once platforms report their streams (typically every 1–2 months).
How much do I earn per stream? ▼
Each platform pays a different per-stream rate — Spotify pays roughly $0.003–$0.005, Apple Music around $0.01, YouTube Music about $0.002. Earnings depend on listener country, subscription type and how often your song is played. Your 85% share is calculated on the gross streaming revenue, with no cap — the more plays, the more you earn.
When and how do I get paid? ▼
Streaming platforms report royalties to us about 2–3 months after the streams happen. We then pay your 85% share out by bank transfer, PayPal or mobile money once you cross a $10 minimum balance. Statements ship by email each payout cycle so you can see exactly what each platform paid and how the split was applied.
Who owns the song — me or Afrobits? ▼
You keep songwriter ownership. Songs are released under the Afrobits label as "Afrobits feat. <your name>", and Afrobits acts as the distributor on the recording — that's what enables our 85/15 split and the platform delivery. The songwriter credit and your moral rights to the work stay with you, and you can request a takedown by emailing hello@afrobits.ai.
What does the $2.99/year fee cover? ▼
The annual fee covers the upfront cost of getting your song onto 150+ platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal & more), platform delivery, metadata and cover art handling. The 15% royalty share is separate — that's what funds the ongoing rights admin, royalty collection and payout work after release. If you cancel, the song is taken down at the end of the period and you keep every payout earned up to then.
How long until my song is live? ▼
Most platforms publish within 1–3 weeks of submission. Spotify and Apple Music are usually fastest (a few days), while smaller platforms can take longer. We email you the moment each major platform confirms your song is live.
How does income from TikTok / Reels work? ▼
With the Social Media Pack, your song lands inside TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook music libraries. Every time a creator picks your song for a video, you earn a share of the platform's creator-music pool. Payouts work the same way as streaming — they show up in your distributor account each month.
Why do I need my real legal name? ▼
Streaming platforms require a real legal songwriter name so royalty collection societies can pay you. Your artist name (the name fans see on Spotify) can be anything — only the songwriter credit needs to match your ID. Without it your song will be rejected at submission.
Can I cancel any time? ▼
Yes. Reply cancel distribution on WhatsApp or email hello@afrobits.ai any time. Your song stays live until the end of the paid period, then it's taken down from streaming platforms. You keep every royalty earned up to that point.
Still have questions? ▼
Send us a message on WhatsApp or email hello@afrobits.ai — we usually reply within a few hours.
