Main cause behind Savara’s departure from a vegan diet

Apart from his stunning wardrobe choices, Sauti Sol’s Savara often steals the spotlight with his mesmerizing verses and lyrics that captivate concert attendees.

Even while delivering top-notch performances, he has been adhering to a vegan diet. In a recent interview with the Mic Cheque Podcast, he discussed the health benefits of the regimen and attributed his flawless physique to it, although he no longer follows that lifestyle.

“I was …ah bro, I lost weight. You know, people…people were used to seeing me muscular, and now I’m like ahhh…” he gestured, indicating his change in physique.

His decision to go vegan?

“It wasn’t for health reasons, but I just wanted to explore myself. It’s like fasting, when you fast, you start to delve deep into yourself. You discover how far you can go. So I just did that just to…” he shrugged.

He maintained the vegan lifestyle for almost a year, but the significant weight loss prompted him to reconsider.

“Like nine months, almost a year. It was too much,” he admitted.

He chuckled when asked about the sensation of tasting meat again.

Describing his upcoming EP ‘No Overthinking’ as “crazy,” he announced its release date on May 3rd, promising fans an exceptional work of art.

The singer also revealed that he poured a lot of effort into the songwriting process.

“When you’re recording an EP, sometimes you give people something before diving into my album, because I’m an album artist. Expect some craziness.”

Since Sauti Sol announced their music hiatus in early 2023, he has been performing as a solo artist. He will embark on his first solo American tour in May, coinciding with his birthday.

He will be joined by Nyashinski, Eddy Kenzo, Dynamo, and Javan Okelo.

“It’s a new chapter in my journey as a live performer, and I can’t wait for you guys to experience the vibe,” he concluded.

Savara reveals the song that made Sauti Sol mutli-millionaires!

Sauti Sol’s music producer and singer, Savara Mudigi, believes that the song “Sura Yako” was the turning point in their careers. The unlikely hit transformed the Kenyan boy band into millionaires and paved the way for their enduring success.

The idea for the song came from an unexpected source, and at the time, none of the band members thought it would amount to anything. Savara emphasizes the importance of valuing ideas, no matter where they come from, in the creative process. He jokingly compares the concept to the preference for street food over gourmet dishes served at high-end hotels.

“Sura Yako” was produced in Savara’s bedroom, where the four band members used to live together. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a game changer in their careers and lives, opening doors to opportunities they had never imagined.

“We honestly didn’t know it was the song that was going to transform our lives. We were just having fun when the song came about,” Savara revealed.

Breaking down the song’s creation process, Savara explained that it took some time to put together as it was never initially intended to be a hit.

“When I created the beat, Aaron Rimbui added the bass, Cedo contributed the keys, and then I called Benjamin Kabaseke to my bedroom to add the guitar chords. Then came the mixing, and Musyoka, our producer, gave us a hard time, questioning the vocals that he felt were not of high quality,” Savara said.

Despite the challenges, the song was eventually released, and its reception exceeded their expectations.

“The reaction caught us by surprise. It was crazy. We had released a couple of songs that had done well before, but ‘Sura Yako’ made us a household name, and gigs started coming our way thick and fast,” Savara recalled.

Sauti Sol had previously released songs such as “Lazizi,” “Blue Uniform,” “Soma Kijana,” and “Coming Home,” which had gained them some recognition, but it was “Sura Yako” that turned them into national stars and set them on the path to becoming millionaires.

Analysis:

Savara’s story is a reminder that success is often unexpected and can come from the most unlikely places. It is also a reminder of the importance of perseverance and collaboration. Despite the challenges they faced in producing “Sura Yako,” the band members never gave up on their vision, and their dedication paid off in the end.

The song’s success is also a testament to the power of music to connect with people on a deep level. “Sura Yako” is a celebration of love and beauty, and its positive message resonated with listeners across Kenya and beyond.

Sauti Sol’s story is an inspiration to all aspiring musicians. It shows that anything is possible if you have the talent, passion, and drive to succeed.

Sauti Sol’s musical journey is proof that patience pays

I’m so happy for Sauti Sol. If you are keen, I am sure you’ve noticed that many good things are have been happening to them in the past few months and if you ask me, they deserve all of it and perhaps even more.

From bagging two awards at the 6th edition of the Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) to signing an exclusive recording deal with Universal Music Africa (UMA) which is a division of Universal Music Group.

Earlier this week, the boy band made history yet again after they were featured in the official soundtrack of the first Netflix Original African series Queen Sono alongside South African singer Sho Madjozi.

As much as they are making great strides and all, the truth is that it wasn’t easy for them to be where they are today and that explains my elation since I am a huge fan of the group.

You see, Sauti Sol was formed in 2005 and they released their debut studio album dubbed Mwanzo in 2008 and that means that they have been in the game for more than 15 years!

Whichever way you look at it, 15 years is a damn long time and the fact that they are just starting to reap the fruits of their hard work is enough that patience pays.

The Kenyan music industry is a mess and I’m sure there are many instances when they felt like throwing in the towel but they didn’t. Instead, they kept pushing while assuring themselves that their efforts will pay off one day.

After what seemed like an endless wait for their big break, it’s finally happening. The way I see it, it’s only a matter of time before they bag a BET or a Grammy.

If there’s one lesson that musicians, especially the upcoming ones, can learn from Sauti Sol’s journey it’s that nothing is as important as passion.

Watch Sauti Sol’s latest single titled Suzanna below.

A few hours ago, Sauti Sol dropped a new track dubbed Suzanna, off their forthcoming album Midnight Train, and it is without a doubt their best song yet. Trust me.

The underlying message in their new song is that people, especially our ladies, should accept themselves as they were created by God and not to undergo costly procedures because they are afraid that nobody will love them.

In layman’s language, don’t bleach your skin, get butt injections, wear Brazilian wigs because you are perfect the way you are and it all boils down to your habits and not the way you look.

The other subject that Sauti Sol has addressed in their new track is controversial phenomenon of sponsor and lasses who are their beneficiaries.

Other than the powerful message that Suzanna carries, it is also very infectious. Honestly speaking, I have lost count of the number of times I’ve listened to it since it was released because I just keep hitting the replay button.

The jam, which was released a week after band announced their exclusive recording agreement with Universal Music Music Africa (UMA), has been getting a lot of airplay since it came out and understandably so.

Suzanna is well-arranged. The wit in the lyrics is unmatched. If you have to know, my favourite line in this jam is the part that goes like, “And I see you in London, silicon on your bum bum shaking what your doctor gave you.”

Sauti-Sol

The instrumentation on this track is impeccable. Polycarp Otieno did a good job on the guitar because it hits the soul as you listen.

The video concept is also sick. The 70s disco ball set up aligns well with the theme of the song because if people fell in love during that time, why should you change your body now to be loved?

This song is a whole vibe and I can’t wait to sample other songs from their forthcoming album because this is enough proof that it’s not business as usual since they have also matured musically.

Watch Suzanna below and tell us what you think. Enjoy

H_art The Band’s collabo with Sauti Sol titled ‘Issa Vibe’ is a big tune (Audio)

H_art The Band, a music group that became a household name after releasing Uliza Kiatu, has dropped a new song with Sauti Sol and it slaps really hard.

The song titled Issa Vibe, which is from their recently released album dubbed Made In The Streets, is definitely one for the books. It really is.

If you are a fan of these two groups then I’m sure you’ve been looking forward to the day they will treat us with a collabo. Well, that day is finally here.

The word that aptly describes this song is magical. This song is really a vibe. I played it a couple of times and I’m still in love with it. What a time to be alive.

One of the many things that I love about this jam is the background vocals by Willis Austin Chimano. He aced it ladies and gentlemen. His unique voice spiced the song.

I also loved Mudigi Savara’s and Bien Baraza’s verses, especially the part where Bien gave a shout out to his Rongai people. Okay, I’m kidding.

Of course, H_art The Band also came through on this lit jam. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything less from them.

However, I must admit that of the trio, I think Mordecai totally killed it. There’s just something unique about his tenor that makes it awesome to listen to.

The beat for this jam is also a vibe. As I was listening to it, I could visualize people in a club busting moves as it plays in the background. Props to the producer.

I honestly can’t wait to listen to and review more songs from Hart The Band’s debut album because from the look of things, it’s totally out of this world. Enough said.

Listen to Issa Vibe below and tell us what you think.
