After recent rumors that Sauti Sol members Chimano and Bien weren’t speaking, Chimano has clarified that he was only joking. “I thought we were brothers, come on call me Bien,” said Chimano during an interview with OkayAfrica, where he was asked which artist he would most likely collaborate with.
This comes in the wake of the group’s hiatus, which has led to speculation about their relationships. However, other members like Savara have previously stated that the break is not a split, but a chance for them to pursue new experiences and solo projects. They’ve emphasized that they are still very much a team and that their bond remains strong after decades of working together.
Sauti Sol has been open about taking a break to focus on individual careers, and they’ve even mentioned undergoing therapy sessions to help manage the change and their individual aspirations. The members have consistently maintained that their friendship is at the core of the group and that they would never speak ill of one another.
All four members have had notable solo projects and ventures since hiatus. Moreover, despite not being actively in the group anymore, they headline the annual Solfest music event, attracting throngs of fans.
