Sat B has forged a successful career in music in one of the poorest countries of the world, Burundi. He began releasing songs as a solo artist in 2009 and had his first big hit in 2010, and in 2012 his talent was recognised at home and he began to win awards. His career took a set back in 2015 with the attempted military coup d’etat and the unrest that followed, but, as he tells DJ Edu, he is determined to stay in Burundi and build his country. He has set up a record label and studio and is attempting to ease the path for other Burundian artists.
