Musician Bien-Aimé Baraza rejected polygamy during his recent Power 105.1 Breakfast Club interview. The singer said his marriage to Chiki Kuruka brings him complete happiness. Bien comes from a polygamous family where his father raised 10 children with six different women. He explained that traditional African polygamy served community purposes and helped families survive through farming. Modern relationships operate differently from those of the past.
Sauti Sol disbanded in May 2023 after nearly 20 years together as a popular Afro-pop band. Bien started his solo career and asked Chiki to manage him two years ago. The couple has been together for 11 years and treats their money as a family resource. Chiki manages his business affairs and helps build their future with their children. Bien won Best Artist in Eastern Africa at the 2025 Trace Awards.
The solo artist released albums such as Aluta Continua and Bald Men Love Better, featuring several hit songs. He collaborated with Nigerian star Ayra Starr and Tanzanian musician Marioo on different tracks. His recent US tour, which lasted 13 days from May 14 to May 26, spanned multiple American cities. Bien performed concerts in Washington, DC, Boston, New York, Atlanta, and Seattle. Ma Cherie remains his favorite personal recording.
