Sauti Sol and Mi-Casa New Song Is Absolute Quality, Too Bad It Won’t Be A Big Hit

Sauti Sol have been busy expanding their audience and reach and at one point they collaborated with South Africa top band, Mi-Casa. It was everything the two all boys groups needed and they blended well going by the end product.

Listening to their song which will be part of Mi-Casa’s 3rd album ‘Home Sweet Home’ is to be reminded of how sweet feel good music can sound. Off late that has been a term used by musicians as an excuse of making trashy music but not this time. ‘Tulale fofofo’ is a musical masterpiece in its simplicity both of arrangement, lyrics, subjects and mixing of elements.

Listen to the fast paced drums rolls, the playfullight strings consistent crescendo and the trumpet, my the trumpet guy. Really this is the perfect marriage of house/funk music and afro-fusion, you could call it afro-funk music.

Sure the afro-fusion elements kinda dominate the whole arrangement but is that not the whole element? It is like you are listening to jazz music you can dance and shake a leg to. Sadly, this song will not be a big hit, in Kenya that is.

Why am I being a Jeremiah after such clear adoration, well this song might be proof that the quintessential Sauti Sol never sold out, their audience I think did. The kind of music that has traction this side of the country shows we cannot fully appreciate this song. Even the promotion given to this song is not your usual Sauti Sol scale promotional campaign.

Maybe it will change when a video comes out. However, until then, let me be lost to the dreamy cloud nine this song takes me. Enjoy the audio below
