Sauti Sol Drops Video For ‘Melanin’ Ft Patoranking

Kenya’s Afro-pop band Sauti Sol and Nigeria’s Dancehall hitmaker Patoranking drop the first video “Melanin” off our forthcoming LP Afrikan Sauce which is a continuation of their ‘Live and Die in Afrika them. The LP features the biggest names in African music and we will be making a release monthly for the next 12 months.
As one of the most popular groups on the African continent, this is not Sauti Sol’s first pan-African collaboration. They have successfully made collaborations with other African Music superstars including Yemmy Alade from Nigeria, Bong star Ali Kiba and even mega-group Mi Casa from South Africa. Known to work with various acts across the continent, their music has evolved and the collaborations have undoubtedly contributed to their growth in Africa.
Africa’s top music video director, Clarence Peters redefines Afrocentric meets Caribbean vibes in this Lagos shot the music video, with rain pouring, slow-motion dancing and steamy scenes.
“I’ve known Sauti Sol personally for about three years, and I can truly say that we’ve been fans of each other as much as we’ve been friends. I am happy we finally release a track that represents us both in equal measure. We can only go higher! Africa to the World!” Patoranking Speaking on the collaboration.Photo Credit: Sauti Sol
