On June 10, 2020, Sauti Sol released their highly anticipated 13-track album, 'Midnight Train', which marked their fifth studio album.

The album has received widespread acclaim and attention globally, with fans praising the band's unique lyrics and storytelling skills.

One of the standout features of the album is its creative and eye-catching artwork, which has inspired a group of young boys to create their own remake.

Polycarp, a member of Sauti Sol, was particularly moved by the boys' artwork, which included a makeshift guitar. He shared an emotional message on his Instagram, reminiscing about his own childhood and how he used to make guitars out of wood wires and tins.

Polycarp's post read:

Savara on the other side posted the same photo with a touching message. He wrote; ‘Your dreams are valid. Let no one ever kill your ambition. Put in the work and you will reach Zion. #likeachamp #solkitchenKE #SolLiftOff’

Polycarp's emotional response to the boys' artwork is a testament to the impact that Sauti Sol's music has had on their fans.
