BOMU Carnival Music Festival to unite artists
Friday, April 13, 2018
The lineup includes amongst others ATI, Vee Mampeezy, Punah Gabasiane, Slizer, Mlesho, Berry Heart and Skavenja to mention but a few.
BOMU President, Pagson Ntsie told Arts & Culture that the idea was birthed last year after the awards. “Four artists being Vee, ATI, Berry Heart and Skavenja came to us with the idea to bring unity in the music industry,” he said. He also said they wanted to bring all Botswana musicians under one roof and show Batswana that local acts can make it without foreign artists in the lineup. Ntsie said back in the day veterans like Alfredo Mos thrived without local and therefore they want to bring some o that magic back. Ntsie added said they want to make it a tour and next after Gaborone will be Francistown and then Maun. “We have eight chapters in the country so we want to reach everyone,” he said.

Ntsie said they want to create a stable financial arm not to depend on the government
