Sauti Sol join presigious American Association

Sauti Sol is still writing history. The Kenyan ensemble has been invited to become a voting member of the Recording Academy.

American artists, producers, recording engineers, and other music industry professionals make up The Recording Academy. It is renowned for its Grammy Awards, which honor achievements in the music business of globally recognized songs and music.

Sauti Sol posted a caption on social media that read:

“Welcome to the Recording Academy Class of 2023. ????????????Congratulations to @bienaimesol @iamchimano @itsmefancyfingers and @savarafrica on their invitation to join the @recordingacademy as Voting Members.The newly invited members epitomize the Recording Academy’s mission to reflect the vibrant global music community we proudly serve. #IAMTheAcademy.”

One has to wonder of what use this induction is given they’ve announced that they are disbanding. Remember that Sauti Sol is going on an indefinite hiatus at the conclusion of their world tour.
