Sauti Sol is an award-winning, four-member Afro-fusion band from Nairobi, Kenya. Band members Bien-Aime Baraza, Willis Chimano, Delvin Mudigi and Polycarp Otieno met in high school. They decided to do music professionally in 2005 after they finished high school. Their first single, Lazizi, was a massive hit and paved the way for other Afro-fusion musicians in Kenya. Their debut album, Mwanzo, which is Swahili for "beginning", was released in August, 2009. Their sophomore album, Sol Filosofia, was released in February, 2011. The band has had successful tours in Europe as well as in Africa.

The band was originally called Sauti, which is Swahili for "sound", but due to the name being common with other bands in East Africa, the word "sol", which is Spanish for "sun", was added. The band participated in the Spotlight on Kenyan Music competition, hosted by Alliance Française de Nairobi, in 2006. They were finalists in the competition. The band is signed to Kenyan rapper Wawesh's Penya label.
