Life After Sauti Sol: Fancy Fingers on Music, Identity, Family & Africa’s Sound
This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Polycarp Otieno, aka Fancy Fingers, guitarist, composer, and ¼ of the award-winning Kenyan supergroup Sauti Sol.
We explore what’s next for Polycarp now that Sauti Sol has ended, how he is navigating life after global tours and fame, and whether East Africa truly has a culture and sound that unites it. We also unpack what makes Kenyan music special, the rise of Rwandan music, and whether African artists should chase “going global” or stay rooted in authentic artistry.
If you care about African music, identity, and what the future holds for East Africa’s creative scene, this conversation is for you.
