Sauti Sol’s Bien-Aime Baraza says the band has stood strong over time since they were friends before coming together to form a band.
Speaking in a recent Podcast interview, Bein said the band members have respected the friendship before work comes in.
“I have not seen a Sauti Sol member somewhere talking ill about the rest of the group members,” he said.
Unlike most groups who are there for the music, Bien says the band was brought together by friendship.
“We were friends before we started singing,” he said.
The band has been together for over 17 years and he says they go to therapies where they talk about things happening in their lives.
“We have moments of therapy reflections. This is the longest relationship that I have ever been in my life. Having people I call brothers for 20 years is not an easy thing,” he said.
The band was formed in 2005 and comprised vocalists Bien-Aimé Baraza, Willis Chimano, Savara Mudigi, and guitarist Polycarp Otieno.
The band celebrated 17 years together in December 2022.
During a past interview, Savara Mudigi said teamwork fails most Kenyan musicians.
“We as Sauti Sol have stuck together because we are more than brothers in the music industry, a thing other artistes lack,” he said.
Sauti Sol recently re-united two years after they decided to do individual projects.
The group announced that its members would concentrate on solo projects under the label “Alone Together” in 2020.
Two years later, they released ‘Lil Mama’ together in November last year.
