Soul Child PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

This year’s weeklong event Gaborone International Music and Culture (GIMC) week started on a high note with the jazz event at Stanbic bank Piazza on Saturday.

Performances started late in the evening and it was newcomer, Motlha who soothed the revellers with some of the songs from his new project. Although known for his hit song ‘mmamotse’ people loved and appreciated the young man’s work and he loved his craft as well. By the time he performed people’s favourite some sections of the crowd were already on their feet. Motlha is not new to live performances and his One Night With Motlha show helped to push his profile, and to deliver a live performance.

While Samantha Mogwe and Mpho Sebina dished their best on stage it was Sereetsi & The Natives who brought the house down. Sereetsi & The Natives have been on the GIMC stage before, having performed with Jonathan Butler in the past. This time the folklore group had so much to share with their hot new album ‘motoko’ still fresh. People sang along as the ‘robete’ hitmakers showed the prowess of the four strings guitar.  The band did justice to their performance by performing songs like ‘mpompela’ and ‘mpopi’.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
