Goya Menor’s phrase “you want to bamba, you want to chill with the big boys” is by now well known in club and party circuits. Without a doubt, the star’s ‘Ameno’ Amapiano remix banger is an anthem to reckon with and the hitmaker is in town.  <\/p>\n

Born Bright Goya, the 26-year-old, who’s currently globe-trotting, never thought the song and his phrase would bring him fame.  <\/p>\n

“As a matter of fact, when we did the jam, it was just for fun. I never imagined it would grow to this magnitude,” he confesses.  <\/p>\n

Soon after recording the song, and using USA-based Ghanian producer DJ Nektune’s Amapiano touch, the song became a big hit on social media platforms.  <\/p>\n

In December 2021, it became a favorite among the partygoers and club DJs.  <\/p>\n

Goya says this came at a time when he was thinking of quitting the show business. “Having recorded the song, I’d given it my all but the response was quite lukewarm but this is a message to all the youth not to give up and God’s timing is best.” <\/p>\n

Despite the low popularity of the song in his home country Nigeria, the ‘Ameno’ Amapiano remix has grown globally, getting millions of views on streaming platforms.  <\/p>\n

Through the song, Goya is now minting money crossing borders and widening his artistic scope. <\/p>\n

An accomplished hype man, emcee and producer, Goya is set to headline three shows in Nairobi and Mombasa this weekend with his maiden Kenyan show being B Club Mombasa on Friday before a beach party scheduled for Saturday afternoon and the icing of his tour at the luxurious Nairobi B Club lounge on Sunday.  <\/p>\n

What should the fans expect? “It’s going to be pure high energy Naija-style entertainment. I have seen the energy Kenyans possess and I can’t wait to have them unleash it. You want to bamba? Come chill with the big boy. I can’t wait to see my Big boys and oh…they said Kenya has Big Gals too. Let’s have a party!” he says, refuting claims that he is a one-hit-wonder.  <\/p>\n

Since his arrival, Goya has received a lot of love from fans and promises to have a themed song for Kenya within the year.  <\/p>\n
