Sauti Sol are arguably the biggest singing group in East and Central Africa as per now, and are also the most sought after musical brand in East Africa after Diamond Platnumz. They promised a lit 2018, and indeed they are not disappointing. From successful collabos with Nigerian stars: "Melanin" featuring dancehall sensation Patoranking, "Girl Nextdoor" featuring Diva, Tiwa Savage and "Afrikan Star" featuring Burnaboy, the Kenyan outfit has teamed up with their talented countryman Nyashinski behind the "Malaika" hit to craft a beauty.

According to Sauti Sol, "#ShortNSweet is the fifth video off of our collabo LP, #AfrikanSauce. We will be dropping dope collabos from around the continent every month till late." In the aesthatic-fashion-themed video directed by Nate Thomas, official band vocalist Bien-Aime Baraza starts the first verse accompanied by hums from his bandmates, donning his signature look — a bald head and big glasses, showig his vocal ability while occasionally whining his waist.

A group of dancers swaying to the chorus usher in dapper-looking Nyashinki, who does his thing and leaves them to dance one more time. Drummer and vocalist Delvin Mudigi comes in with his sass, backed by dancers in the fore, middle and bacckground of the scene. Saxophonist Willis Austin Chimano, the last of the vocaslists belts notes, before guitarist Polycarp Otieno bellows palm-muted stinging notes off his Axe. Walai, you just need to check the video out:
