Savara steps into Grammy spotlight with consideration in two categories

Savara Mudigi, a Kenyan singer-songwriter and member of the award-winning pop group Sauti Sol, has received Grammy consideration for Best African Music Performance and Best Global Music Performance.

His hit songs ‘Sianda’ from early this year and ‘Show You Off’, which dropped in October 2025, were submitted to the Recording Academy Grammy for review ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards.

The program opens a stage for emerging artists to shine and be recognized on their journey to the prestigious music awards.

The online entry window for Grammy U members ran from July 16 to 30, 2025, with eligible recordings and videos considered for the Grammy Awards ballot.

Ahead of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on February 1, 2026, nominations are set to be revealed on November 7, 2025.

Savara expressed his gratitude for the recognition, writing on X: “Honored to be considered by the @recordingacademy for Best African Music Performance and Best Global Music Performance.”

“Big love to everyone who’s been part of this journey — the team, collaborators, and every listener pushing the sound forward. This is just the beginning,” he added.

The recognition marks a major milestone in Savara’s solo career since Sauti Sol went on a break.

In 2021, the boy band received a Grammy certificate of recognition for their contribution to Nigerian singer Burna Boy’s album ‘Twice as Tall’, which won Best Global Music Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards.

Two years later, in 2023, the group was invited to join the Recording Academy as voting members.
