Why you should listen

Sauti Sol is an award-winning Afro-pop group from Kenya, crowned Best Group (Africa) at the MTV Africa Music Awards in 2016, along with the 2016 Soundcity MTV Awards and African Muzik Magazine Awards. Comprising Bien-Aime Baraza, Willis Austin Chimano, Polycarp Otieno and Savara Mudigi, the group mixes their soulful voices with vocal harmonies, guitar riffs and drum rhythm. In 2016 Sauti Sol made history by being the first Kenyan artists to run a successful and professional nationwide tour. After the Kenyan completion of Sauti Sol’s Live and Die in Afrika tour, it took onto the world stage with a focus on African countries and a detailed American tour.

Sauti Sol’s discography includes three albums: Mwanzo (2008), Sol Filosofia (2011) and the blockbuster Live and Die in Afrika (2015), as well as a 2012 self-titled collaborative EP with South African avant-garde rapper/producer Spoek Mathambo.

No palco, está o grupo Sauti Sol.
02:37
Onstage is the group called Sauti Sol.

(Vivas)
02:41
We have a couple of people paid
in the audience to make some noise for us.
41
149117
3484
Pagamos a algumas pessoas
na plateia para fazerem barulho para nós.
02:44
(Laughter)
42
152625
1158
(Risos)
02:45
The four of us met
in high school, 15 years ago,
43
153807
3762
Nós quatro nos conhecemos
no ensino médio, há 15 anos,
02:49
and at the time, we were famous
for singing Boyz II Men covers,
44
157593
2953
e, na época, éramos famosos
pelo "cover" do grupo Boyz II Men,
02:52
because they were our biggest inspiration.
45
160570
2745
porque eles eram nossa maior inspiração.
02:55
(Laughter)
46
163339
999
Eu me recordo, de modo muito pervertido,
que tinha um pôster da Mariah Carey
02:56
And I remember, in a very pervy way,
in my room, I had a Mariah Carey poster
47
164362
4017
03:00
and a Britney Spears poster, too.
48
168403
2201
e um da Britney Spears em meu quarto.
03:02
(Laughter)
49
170628
1072
(Risos)
03:03
And I can't help but feel
that times have changed.
50
171724
3948
Não consigo parar de sentir
que os tempos mudaram,
03:07
Because what used to be
Mariah Carey in my room now,
51
175696
3587
porque o que costumava ser
Mariah Carey em meu quarto,
03:11
in a 15-year-old boy's room,
is Tiwa Savage.
52
179307
3674
no quarto de um menino de 15 anos,
está Tiwa Savage agora.
03:15
What used to be 50 Cent in my room then,
53
183005
5072
O que costumava ser 50 Cent
em meu quarto, naquela época,
03:20
to a 15-year-old boy's room now
54
188101
2540
no quarto de um menino de 15 anos,
03:22
is Sauti Sol.
55
190665
1150
está Sauti Sol agora.

The role of Afrobeats in emancipating
57
194847
4048
O papel dos "afrobeats" na emancipação
03:30
and getting over the colonial
mindset of the youth
58
198919
6079
e recuperação da mentalidade
colonial da juventude
03:37
cannot be ignored.
59
205022
1200
não pode ser ignorado.
03:38
Afrobeats has played the strongest
role so far, if you ask me,
60
206633
4508
Os afrobeats têm desempenhado o papel
mais forte até agora, se me perguntarem,
03:43
as far as emancipating
the youth is concerned.
61
211165
3133
no que se refere
à emancipação da juventude.
03:47
We are now the superstars
of our generation, for our people.
62
215046
5205
Somos agora os superastros
de nossa geração, para nosso povo.
03:52
We are the solution
to their musical problems.
63
220870
2952
Somos a solução
para seus problemas musicais.
03:55
(Applause)
64
223846
1159
(Aplausos)
03:57
And people our age are no longer
looking for entertainment
65
225029
3897
As pessoas de nossa idade
não estão mais procurando entretenimento
04:00
from America, from the West.
66
228950
2301
dos Estados Unidos, do Oeste.
04:03
We are the entertainment,
67
231895
1285
Nós somos o entretenimento,
04:05
and they're priming us above
any other form of art.
68
233204
4105
e eles estão nos valorizando
acima de qualquer outra forma de arte.
04:10
In 2015, President Obama came to Kenya,
69
238609
3492
Em 2015, o presidente Obama
veio ao Quênia,
04:14
and we had the pleasure
of being the entertainment
70
242125
2964
e tivemos o prazer
de proporcionar o entretenimento
04:17
for the state dinner that happened
at state house, Nairobi.
71
245113
2829
para o jantar que aconteceu
na sede do governo, em Nairóbi.
04:20
And as we were performing,
72
248244
1968
E, quando estávamos nos apresentando,
04:22
he jumped onstage with us,
and together, we did a cultural dance
73
250236
4801
ele subiu ao palco conosco,
e fizemos uma dança cultural juntos
04:27
to a song that I want to share
with you guys right now.
74
255061
4032
para uma música que quero compartilhar
com vocês neste momento.
04:31
And wherever you are,
if you feel the music, dance.
75
259427
3666
E, onde quer que estejam,
se sentirem a música, dancem.

A couple of years ago, in 2011,
158
470688
2167
Há alguns anos, em 2011,
08:04
through YouTube, she saw
these dancers called Tofo Tofo dancers,
159
472879
3587
vimos no YouTube esses dançarinos
chamados Tofo Tofo,
08:08
from Mozambique,
160
476490
1262
de Moçambique,
08:09
and she flew them all the way
from Mozambique to Los Angeles
161
477776
4690
e ela os trouxe
de Moçambique a Los Angeles
08:14
to teach her and her dancers
162
482490
2166
para ensinar a ela e a seus dançarinos
a marca dos movimentos de dança
que vemos em sua música:
08:16
the now signature dance moves
that you see in her song,
163
484680
2600
08:19
"Run the World (Girls)."
164

"Run the World (Girls)".
08:21
Yeah. (Laughs)

08:23
So, with social media and a vibrant,
vibrant African diaspora,
166

e um êxodo africano muito vibrante,
08:28

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sauti Sol - Afro-pop innovators
Sauti Sol blends warm resonant pop with traditional Kenyan influences. Their mélange of energetic rhythms has promoted the group to become one of Africa’s most celebrated.

Why you should listen

Sauti Sol is an award-winning Afro-pop group from Kenya, crowned Best Group (Africa) at the MTV Africa Music Awards in 2016, along with the 2016 Soundcity MTV Awards and African Muzik Magazine Awards. Comprising Bien-Aime Baraza, Willis Austin Chimano, Polycarp Otieno and Savara Mudigi, the group mixes their soulful voices with vocal harmonies, guitar riffs and drum rhythm. In 2016 Sauti Sol made history by being the first Kenyan artists to run a successful and professional nationwide tour. After the Kenyan completion of Sauti Sol’s Live and Die in Afrika tour, it took onto the world stage with a focus on African countries and a detailed American tour.

Sauti Sol’s discography includes three albums: Mwanzo (2008), Sol Filosofia (2011) and the blockbuster Live and Die in Afrika (2015), as well as a 2012 self-titled collaborative EP with South African avant-garde rapper/producer Spoek Mathambo.
