The Talented Young Brothers (or TYB Boyz) are a group of young Liberian musicians from Foya. They got together in 2005 seeking to use music to contribute to the post-war development of their country.

During the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, the TYB Boyz were chosen by Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to record and perform an Ebola awareness song called "Ebola is Real". The group took part in health promotion visits to communities around Lofa County, sharing messages on how to prevent Ebola and informing people of the number to call if someone fell ill. Their song is played several times a day on the local radio stations.
