Sauti, which means "Voice" in Swahili, is a musical collective from Cork consisting of Raphael Olympio, Cliff Masheti, Mark Mavambu, and Lauren Kennedy. Each member brings diverse backgrounds and unique talents, and together they aim to use their creativity to address social injustice. In addition to regular performances, they host open mic sessions and collaborate with youth to promote self-expression and advocate against social injustice. Notably, they played a key role in organising Cork’s annual youth-led anti-racism summits and Riot against Racism events with Creativity & Change. Sauti believes in the power of creativity to cultivate a safer and more equitable world.
