In 2018, Shaba recorded a country song featuring 30 country names. This song went viral on Facebook and YouTube as it has already gained almost a million views and counting. The song cleverly includes countries from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas such as Uganda, China, Ghana, Sudan, Kenya, Canada, and Spain among others.
