Traversing African boarders musically is an art they have mastered over time, and last week was yet another proud moment for Kenyans as Sauti Sol won the Best African Group at the All African Music Awards, AFRIMA.

Having been nominated for many other major categories including the BET Awards, MTV MAMAs and EMAs, fans waited with bated breath hoping that the boys would bring an award home before the end of the year.

The Sauti boys did not disappoint and thanked their fans;
