They should make up urban myths of how awesome Sauti Sol is! Say perhaps if you speak the bands name into a microphone while facing the mirror, you will get haunted by their awesomeness!? We will work on that later, apart from being nominated in the Mdundo Music Awards in the Afropop category, Sauti Sol will be representing Africa in the upcoming BET Awards as the Best International Act: Africa category which was won by Davido (Nigeria) in 2014.
The group, currently riding high on music charts with their hit song "Nerea", have also recently been nominated for the Best East African category in the prestigious Kilimanjaro Awards which will be held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania next month.
Sauti Sol will be battling against AKA (South Africa), Stonebwoy (Ghana), Sarkodie (Ghana), Fally Ipupa (DR Congo), Wizkid (Nigeria), The Soil (South Africa) and Yemi Alade (Nigeria).
The awards will be held at the Nokia Theatre on June 28 in Los Angles, just ten days after the Kilimanjaro Awards.
