Sol Family S1-2
Go behind-the-scenes into the lives of Bien, Savara, Chimano and Polycarp, the four members that make up Sauti Sol, as well as their Sol Generation protégés Nviiri the Storyteller and Bien Sol.
Praised by fans for its humour (and memes) and for offering an intimate and authentic look into the lives of Africa’s biggest band, Sol Family S1 became an instant hit among fans, even making it to Showmax’s list of most-watched shows on the platform for weeks.
It’s produced by Eugene Mbugua of Our Perfect Wedding Kenya and Concert Nyumbani. As to what fans can expect in season two, Mbugua says, “We have an exciting season lined up which we have been filming since July of last year. We’ll give the audience a more in-depth look into the couples on the show. We’ll also get to take you behind the scenes of what happens when Sauti Sol, Nviiri and Bensoul hit the stage.”
While their biggest challenge filming season one was COVID-19, Mbugua reveals that things have been much easier this season after some restrictions were lifted. As such, the audience will also get to follow Sauti Sol and Sol Generation for an out-of-town experience as the show travels to Meru, Diani and even Lamu.
Catch Sol Family on Showmax with new episodes airing on Mondays.
