Sauti Sol to release steamier song than ‘Nishike’
Popular Kenyan band Sauti Sol are not afraid to make another risqué song like Nishike. In fact, they have announced that they will release a steamier song. Nishike was banned on Kenyan television.
“We don’t write music for the Kenyan Film Classification Board; we write music for our fans and even those people on that board dance to our music in their bedrooms. Music is an expression and whatever I feel as an artiste is what I’m going to express,” said band member Bien Aime Baraza.
“If it’s going to be banned, then let it be banned. We don’t write music with barriers in our heads. We are taking this opportunity to announce that we are doing a very serious Nishike; coming soon.”
The group hit out at people who listen to foreign songs without knowing their meaning yet bash local songs that are considered “racy”.
“We are the ones who limit ourselves,” said another member, Delvin Mudigi. “Music is art, it’s like fashion. We don’t know what we listen to when we listen to “lingala” songs but if you knew what some of them mean… Just go and find out.”
