•It Continues to Gain Momentum on YouTube Racking Up Huge Views and Breaking Through Key Milestones at Record Speeds.
Oromo-Borana music sensation Rufas Tiya, known for her soulful renditions in Afaan Oromoo, has once again struck a chord with her audience.
Her latest track, Olle Imbulu, released just two weeks ago, is making waves across digital platforms, particularly on her newly established YouTube channel.
This love ballad follows in the footsteps of her previous hits, Ansidabu Infed and Sololo Tiya, which have cemented her popularity within the Oromo-speaking community in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia, where nearly 40 million people speak the language.
The song’s early success signals Rufas Tiya’s growing influence in the regional music scene and beyond.
Rapid Growth and Positive Reception
Despite being the first official upload on her new YouTube channel, Olle Imbulu has already reached 26,000 views, surpassing the 1K, 10K, and 20K milestones in record time.
This achievement is particularly significant given that the artist recently lost access to her previous channel, which had amassed nearly 20,000 subscribers before it was hacked.
The release of Olle Imbulu has helped her new channel gain rapid traction, soaring from just over 100 subscribers to 800 in a matter of days.
With YouTube’s monetization requirement set at 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, it seems only a matter of time before Rufas Tiya’s channel becomes financially rewarding.
