Popular Afropop boy band Sauti Sol has threatened to take legal action against the Azimio La Umoja coalition party over alleged copyright infringement.This is after the coalition led by Raila Odinga featured their hit song ‘Extravaganza’ during the unveiling of the outfit’s presidential running mate on Monday at the KICC.During the televised event, Azimio party leader Raila Odinga unveiled his running mate Martha Karua as ‘Extravaganza’ played in the background, a move the award-winning band says was unauthorized.“The Azimio la Umoja campaign through its flagbearer and presidential candidate, the Right Hon. Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga’s social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) have without license nor authority used one of our more popular original compositions, “Extravaganza,” as a soundtrack to the announcement post of the running mate,” said the group in a statement issued Monday.“We did not license this song to the Azimio La Umoja campaign neither did we give any consent for its use in the announcement of their Vice-Presidential candidate.”
