If you remember, last July, Barack Obama grooved on Sauti\u00a0Sol&#8217;s hit song &#8220;Sura Yako&#8221;\u00a0at a state dinner in Kenya. Sauti\u00a0Sol, the Kenyan afro-pop band, is not only famous for their musical talent. The group is now earning worldwide attention for their unique sense of fashion.<\/p>\n<h2>Celebrating African fashion<\/h2>\n<p>Sauti Sol was featured at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in the <em>Fashion Cities Africa<\/em> exhibition. The show, which features a wide array of apparel, explores the fashion scene in four major cities of Africa:\u00a0Casablanca in Morocco, Lagos in Nigeria, Nairobi in Kenya and Johannesburg in South Africa. <em>Fashion Cities Africa<\/em> displays\u00a0style choices of \u00a0&#8220;fashion agents&#8221; such as designers, stylists, photographers, and bloggers. Last year, museum staff along with Africa fashion specialists Hannah Azieb Pool and Helen Jennings visited the four cities in order to identify key\u00a0&#8220;fashion agents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16247\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16247\" style=\"width: 704px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-16247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/sautisol-alade.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"704\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/sautisol-alade.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/sautisol-alade-600x519.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/sautisol-alade-85x74.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16247\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-j37te8iCh8g\/VvW_DgAZDII\/AAAAAAAAF1c\/Cu5IDSjyCUMvpdx_7oDlisjvXG8XZ0PGw\/s640\/SAUTISOL%2BALADE.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Kenyan musicians, known for their eccentric style, expressed their gratitude on their Instagram page:<\/p>\n<div id=\"responsive-aans-view-a-container\" class=\"outer-ad-container responsive-aans-view-a-container\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\">\u201cWe\u2019re super honored to have our picture and style featured on the#FashionCitiesAfrica\u00a0exhibition at Brighton Museum &amp; Art Gallery.
