Why sauti sol separated
Last year, Sauti sol band announced that they were splitting after 20 years of them being together.
According to Bien, the band needed time off to explore on their own and experience their own careers away from the band.
“We separated because we needed a new job after doing the same job for 20 years. We needed new experiences and new challenges and we got to a point where we were getting a bit complacent and we wanted to try out something new,” Bien said.
In November, the band held their last performance at the SolFest in Uhuru Gardens.
