Sauti Sol Release Collabo With Uganda's Bebe Cool

East Africa’s music giants Sauti Sol (Kenya) and Bebe Cool (Uganda) have released a new collabo. The new song is titled Mbozi Za Malwa, Luganda for conversations that usually take place when friends are having a drink at their local joint.

Written by Yesse Oman Rafiki and Sauti Sol, the song has a dancehall vibe and was recorded in Kampala, Uganda. It was produced by Danz, co- arranged by Sauti Sol and mixed and mastered by Ogopa Inc.

"In many African communities, if you want to know the latest gossip, visit a local bar or high end bar with friends for a drink and all talk will rotate around what is making news in the community," explains Bebe Cool.

Sauti Sol added, "We had an amazing time working with Bebe Cool. Our East African fans have been requesting for this and we hope they will love it as we do."

The two parties have also announced an online dance contest between Kenyan girls and their Ugandan counterparts, in the run-up to the music video which has been scheduled to be released on April 24th this year. Using the hashtag #MboziZaMalwa, the winner/s from each country will get to go head-to-head with each other.

The ultimate winner/s will be announced by Bebe Cool on April 26th and will get the bragging rights of "The Best Dancer/s in East Africa", a chance to hang out with an artiste of their choice between Sauti Sol and Bebe Cool and take home $500 (Ksh50,000). The contest will run from April 17th - April 26th.
