[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9c_y6lZh_g]Sauti Sol will be performing their just released album, ‘Sauti Sol’ for the first time. The album is an experimental work in which Sauti Sol has embarked on an exciting mission – to embrace their artistic versatility and blend their signature harmonies with the futuristic sounds of avant-garde South African rapper/producer Spoek Mathambo. The end result of this much-anticipated collaboration reflects the band’s mission to break (African) musical stereotypes and borders.
