Bien-Aime (French for beloved) Baraza is a vocalist, songwriter and guitarist. His style of singing is soulful and his songwriting skills celebrated by many.
Since Sauti Sol’s inception in 2006, Bien-Aime has remained active in the group and part of the creation of Sauti Sol two albums: Mwanzo (2008) and Sol Filosofia (2011). Bien-Aime occasionally writes songs for other artists like Elani, Amos & Josh and Wendy Kimani.
He says of songs from Sauti Sol’s first two albums: Mwanzo and Sol Filosofia, “I love to write songs. And women inspire me. My thought process equates songs to women; to an extent I call our songs my women. Lazizi is the hot girl at the bar. Zosi is the good sweet girl who goes to church. Mama Papa and Soma Kijana are the voices of my mother.
“While on stage, these hit singles are among my trophies. Some women like Wera, Subira, Mapacha, Awinja and Asubuhi are wife material-girls who knew me in the hood before the lights, camera and action. They remind me of Sauti Sol days before success and the magical struggle that our music has been. They are show for sacrifice and represent the road we’ve treaded.”
Bien-Aime studied Journalism and Media Studies at the United States International University and graduated in 2011. - บันเทิง
Still amazes me that Java restaurant has never used the song lazizi for marketing.
Ata kama Bien apendi mwanzo I still listen to that album on Spotify to date man, so pure
i went looking for i immediately
Bien might cringe when he listens to Mwanzo but it's still my fave from Sauti Sol, it was the first Kenyan album I bought and played over and over and over and over ..I first heard Lazizi on Tusker project fame coz Patricia Kihoro performed it ! I couldn't believe it was a Kenyan song had to look for the rest of the music .That album..💖
After Sauti Sol wameenda straight kwa R-Kay,Richie na yeye akaenda straight kuchange batteries.Haidhuru.We are your addicts.Tunangoja our next hit babaa😢
Shout out to Mizizi,Grapevine, among other progiz that supported the Kenyan entertainment industry
Grapevine manze, even the name brings back nostalgia
Straight up pia with Grace Msalame
@@elvisnyaruri It was a dope show
@@leonardmagua4921 Kumbe si mi mzee pekee hapa?😂😂😂
@@njerigathungu5058 She was my 2nd celeb crush after Sheila Mwanyiga😍
In 2012, nikiwa fresha pale Moi University Main Campus, Sauti Sol performed for Mr &Miss Moi University, together with Camp Mulla.Nilikuwa najua Sauti Sol but I paid that entry ticket only to see Miss Karun ..Party Don't Stop hit!!!
Good old times man!!
Saying this with no hate, please let the guest just talk and conversation flow. You doing good job besides that.
Exactly
Bien ; Very interesting to me this Mwanzo Album to me is something else and will always be
Oh My, Bien was so abujubuju when he was feeling music in his soul, so cute!
I was at the Museum hill gig....amazing how far these guys have come
I was at the Museum Hill concert with a good friend.... Before the Chinese did the road. The atmosphere was electric!
The only channel I watch yet I have deadlines to beat! What, Richie you are opening up a whole culture, art conversation that was dead. Keep them coming.
I just love how bien is ever authentic
I knew about Sauti Sol by their jam Nazizi through The Beat NTV while I was in class 8. Been a fan since.
BLUE UNIFORM remains my favorite of all time the voices in that jam were 🔥🔥🔥😍.
Manze this guy hosting is on another level mad love akiii ..nakupenda bure tu
Astar usijifanye haujasoma hii comment
@@bonventuremukotojnr7810 thanksss
Bien is such an aspiration🥰💯
Mwanzo is one of my best albums.. Authentic and timeless
Interestingly Mwanzo is one of their best album.. you can feel the passion
Who else waits for that session when cta unearths the old classics of their guests? That's one of my best parts.
Listening to Blue Uniform and looking at the situation with our police force right now, they didn't just make a song they gave us a prophesy and that's classic
I think I am a Sol fan to the core. I still know all lines in all songs ... plus ad-libs in the Mwanzo album. Those were the days.
I remember attending Safaricom live in Eldoret.......it was lit
Bana Bien, Mwanzo was a meteor shower of hits!! I love(d) it! This was an EPIC journey down memory lane!
You guys have been flames since DAY ONE!! FUEGO!!
A-star thank you for this!
That wakamba wawili video and song ilinibamba back then.
Amazing stories we are getting to hear. Compared to the others CTAs this had a bit more of interjections from the interviewer which affected the flow of story. But all the same keep the videos and stories coming! 👍
Nina invites me one day for a concert of hers and tells me Her BGVs are “the boys”.... that was my first interaction with Sauti Sol . Still remember it fresh as day.
Hardcore hip hop fans want to know how the song with wakamba wawili was put together. The story behind it
What Mwanzo may lack in production value (hence Bien's probable angst!), it more than compensates in its authenticity and soul. Bado nasikiza mwanzo to date, there some purity and simplicity in it...
Rhihana aliiba the 1st few lines za Mama😂😂😂
lazizi, yo. That song was completely legendary
I remember watching all this songs. For the first time great memories
Richie endelea like that, kutugongea mbili mbili kila siku....LOL!
Kama mayai
Mwanzo is still my best Sauti Sol album. Raw emotions, no hype, no commercial tracks. And simple lyrics and production
I remember the first time I heard Lazizi, I was in JKUAT in my cuzos house. S/O to my cousin Wangari Wandu introducing me to you.
You guys are the dopest 🔥🔥🔥
He became aware of what Kenyans like sonically and started to think about how to integrate it with what they were doing. And it changed their perspective. Deep stuff here.
We had this convo bro
I hope Wawesh’s CTA is around the corner
Usicheze na Wawesh, ye ni mjaaaanjaa....
Kuliko jana....I love it
Love the interview. Lazizi was so huge that even my mum, who is 73, knows and loves it. You and the guys are the best. God bless.
Would love to hear what sound Bien thought Sauti Sol had in Mwanzo. Like the actual name that they gave to it and why & whether they were intentional about it.
Campus tour moi university edition...mad love since back in the day
I forgot to mention that my nieces, especially my nine year old one, loves blue uniform. She can sing it word for word.
Ayaayaaa venye nlikuwa nangoja hio part ya Savara ....natambuaa kwamba hauuna kosaa ...ulilofaanyaaa...🎵🎵🎶... mad mad love
Voices in the Light=Sauti Sol, ni ministry tu ilichange😄😅.Tukiimba #Lazizi💕 while in High School sema damn good memories. Such a classic🔥🔥. Bigups #Wawesh. #Mwanzo is a masterpiece✨
wowowowowoow: Voices in the light!!!!
Lazizi was the a must learn for every band and everyone learning guitar....
I would listen to the album without skipping a song!!!!

My eldest sister was in the university in Nairobi,came back to Kisumu with this new music, that was my introduction to sauti sol
mwanzo is still my fav Sol album, like Bien said, its the one I listen to when am alone
My friend Johnny introduced me to Lazizi after Sauti Sol performed in their church. Good old days
Mwanzo still a masterclass! Bien ever thought of doing a few refixes (& maybe, videos) of some songs on that album? If not possible, then do one -- for my all-time Mwanzo faves, ZOSI.
I had no idea Bien was in Wakamba Wawili's video
The way Anyiko woko has rode with Sauti sol is just amazing
So Rihanna’s inspiration for Man Down came from Sauti Sol and Dela’s song Mama!!
I remember attending Mwanzo album launch,curtain raisers were Elani and Sauti sol fandemonium was insane!!!!
Watching the Lazizi and Blue Uniform videos and I'm in the floor.
Astar, you are great at your job.
Also, if they ever decide to do video for Mama Papa, niwekwe please. Still love that song.
maisha ya TV, tutaishi sisi!!!!!! that came true too...
Soma Soma was a favorite...
I play "Brighter Days" on repeat. Just affirming what you've said
I remember watching you guys perform at knt on a Friday afternoon. You guys were awesome and still are.
Pinye alipromote lazizi mbaya, highschool tulikuwa tukiingoja during supper time.
Blue Uniform was a great satire song.. I remember the video coming in 2009...
I love sauti sol
Walai Bien was way ahead of his time 🇰🇪you should do the mama video
Fun fact :wakamba wawili were m neighbors in Mombasa and were members of Ukoo flani maumau
Such a fun interview 😂❤
Walai unatutesa post all episodes
Finally caught the premier ju watu hapa hawaezi ngoja tuanze pamoja😤😡😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Elvis na Magu mnacheka ju mnajua naongea juu yenyu😂😂😂
🤣
Kenyans can't let you thrive...
@@beryltabu2348 Aki imagine?😃😃😃
Lazizi was the to go to song for TPF auditions heh!
22:30 something Sauti Sol have cracked that's still a mystery to many Kenyan musicians.
Wakamba wawili and wawesh need a cta as well.
These videos are amazing. Nice one CTA 🔥🔥
Watu wa Chuka tuko hapa jo! I have been a air conditioner since day 1.... Mwanzo buda... But by then I had already left Chuka for the Cirry in the Sun
Following the story
Team premier
I still think this period was their best sound. I often wish they had continued to produce more of this sound. I loved it.😍
2:34 Wawesh! 💯💯
Haiyaa. So its Sol as in Sun in swedish
Good interview but CTA you gotta let the brother finish elaborating before hitting him with questions. Let him flow and ask questions periodically
...is what everyone has been telling me for years... not happening ;-)
@@cta101 really now !? That is rude
@@NehemiahRotich it is not rude y'all keeping telling him how to do his job na amesema over and over again hizi hazikwangi interview but they are usually conversations
Anyiko is a real one
Watu wametoka mbali jameni
What is crazy is the first albums I bought with my own money: Astar, Sauti Sol Mwanzo, Just the band.... serendipity yaaawa.
unpopular opinion, gentleman is that song that made sauti sol
I second this 🎉
I hope Java paid sauti sol for all the publicity u gave them back then
What are the chances that Riri sampled that Mama song?
Musiq ya soul was back in 2008 😂 Edu Gee was the illest music video director then
I still have mwanzo album autographed by Bien!!!
To reward yourself with you know😂😂😂
Lakini ding dong zilitoa uyu brathe vumbi..
When i want to reward my self with u know....... 😅😜😉 Ata mimi huskiza chronixx nikijireward
🤣🤣🤣
High spirits farm, issa form 🔥
"reward myself with..you know" HAHA..yes, we know
I’m the only Kenyan who disliked Lazizi. Still do. I wasn’t into Blue Uniform but I loved their vocals on it. The one where they got me was Coning Home. Whoooo! That’s knocked me out.
Make it make sense bro. 🤯
I'm one of those guys who at first never liked their songs...they just grew on me with time. From this convo I realize how much I don't know Sauti Sol's early music
tafuteni campmulla sasa
Fandemonium😂😂😂 fandemic 😂😂😂
