The type of music he is known for is called enga, a popular style in East Africa. His best-known songs include "African Twist", "Harambee Harambee", and "Western Shilo". His song "Helule Helule" was covered by The Tremeloes in the late 60s and became a hit in the United Kingdom.
Kabaka is also well known for his Kenyan classic "Harambee Harambee," which largely reflects the aspirations of postcolonial Kenya to rebuild their nation together.

In 1986, Kabaka released the album Pesa Maradhi Ya Moyo with Maroon Commandos.
