I
t’s been quite a year for Sauti Sol
with awards and nominations
literally raining from the sky.
Fans of these very Kenyan heartthrobs have probably had a hard
time keeping up with whether they
were voting for Sauti Sol to win the
AFRIMA awards nomination for Best
African Act; the MTV Europe Music
Awards for, yes you guessed it, Best
African Act; or the SOMA awards for
best use of social media in entertainment.
At this point, if you haven’t voted
for Kenya’s favourite Boyband at
least three times, you could be
considered downright unpatriotic.
Even the President insisted on getting them to sing for his birthday
celebrations and we can only guess
that all of his staff were under strict
orders to continue voting for them
until they won.
With all the awards, the concerts
and their trip to Paris from which
they have only just returned, it was
always going to be a struggle to pin
the band down for a photoshoot.
Say what you want about the
Yummy team though, we aren’t
the kind of people who will let six
concerts in one weekend get in the
way of a great shoot. After all, the
people don’t want to only hear more
of Sauti Sol, they want to see more
of Sauti Sol too! And what better
way than to entice the band to the
photoshoot than with the promise of
a delicious Christmas meal?
