Sauti Sol singer Bien Baraza is totally okay with the direction Beyonce took in her new album The Gift and is urging fellow artists to stop complaining.
Bien said that Beyonce was looking for Afrobeat sound a reason why he chose West African artists instead of East African.
Worker harder
He urged Kenyans to focus on their hustle to appoint they can’t be ignored instead of complaining.
“As Kenya artist, we should stop that victim mentality that tunaonewa( we are being marginalized).” Said the singer.
“Guys should just sing and make hits. It will eventually get to Beyonce but you need to work as an industry. Sauti Sol should not be the only group worthy of being in such an album we need to be many. We need to step up as an industry with structure and we will make it.”
The movie Lion King has been shot in East Africa and many people expected to hear EA artists.
