Together they formed Ifa Band in 2002, and started performing around the town. Ifa is a nomadic band, moving from one place to another to entertain people wherever they can get paid. It is a street band with six young men, and music is their only source of income. It took them almost a month to reach Dar es Salaam from Ifakara, stopping to busk in one village to another, as they could not afford the direct bus fare.
Kwa pamoja waliunda bendi ya Ifa mwaka 2002 na wakaanza kutumbuiza katika maeneo tofauti mjini hapo. Ifa ni bendi inayohama hama kutoka sehemu moja kwenda nyingine kuburudisha watu popote ambapo wanaweza kulipwa. Ni bendi ya mtaani yenye vijana sita wa kiume, na muziki ndio njia yao pekee ya kuwapa kipato. Iliwachukua karibia mwezi mmoja kufika Dar es Salaam kutoka Ifakara, wakisimama na kupiga muziki wa kulipwa katika kijiji kimoja hadi kingine kwa vile hawakuweza kua na nauli ya kuwafikisha Dar es Salaam moja kwa moja.
