My list would not be complete without Sauti Sol. These young men make me so proud. They take their craft seriously and they are making waves globally. I’d just be happier if they would buy new clothes that don’t have holes in them, and not so tight,” That’s what Bob Collymore said in a recent interview that sent shock waves all across social media.

He was talking matters Kenyan music and which of the latter he listens to. And Sauti Sol he does enjoy because as we have established courtesy of Sauti Sol’s publicist Anyiko Awoko, he even invites them to his house and they sing along to some melodies while sipping some single malt Whiskey.
He also supports them a lot having offered to market their music for free when they recently dropped their Live and Die Africa album so it must have been really awkward for them when he made the statement.
Being Ghafla, I posed the question to them and they did have an answer. According to Anyiko, he doesn’t have to like their outfits as its human nature to want and be attracted to different things. So it’s cool, no news there. And when I asked her whether they would be toning down after the Bob’s opinion; she was categorical that that was never going to happen.
Actually they are meeting a group of designers as we speak and they are looking into advancing their wardrobe. To make it more crazy or modest, I don’t know….All I know is that they are going ham in terms of their fashion sense this year.
