singer Kenny Sol will feature on a new album by Burundian music star Big Fizzo, adding another cross-border collaboration between two of the region’s established artists.
Big Fizzo announced Monday, Aug. 17, that Kenny Sol is among five artists from different countries featured on S.O.A: Son of Alkebulan, a 14-track album he said will be released in the coming days.
Kenny Sol appears on a song titled “Let Me Know.”
The collaboration adds to Big Fizzo’s long-standing links with Rwanda’s music industry. He has previously worked with Rwandan artists including Tom Close on “Baza,” Charly and Nina on “Indoro,” Platini P on “Ikosa 1” and Davis D on “Truth or Dare.”
Other artists featured on the album include Burundian musicians Black-G and Kolly Da Magic. Big Fizzo also worked with Queen D on “Afro Angel,” Eden on “Ababare” and Black G on “Nimeridhika.”
Kenny Sol’s appearance on the project comes as artists from Rwanda and Burundi continue to collaborate across the East African music scene.
The album’s 14 tracks will give Big Fizzo an opportunity to bring together artists from different musical backgrounds while strengthening his connections with performers in the region.
Fans are now awaiting the release of S.O.A: Son of Alkebulan and the new collaborations featured on the project.
