Sereetsi and The Natives PIC: THALEFANG CHARLES

Tomeletso Sereetsi, the outfit’s frontman left the crowd yearning for more as he gave them tunes from the new album as well as tracks from their first offering released three years ago.Setting the mood for the night was a performance from renowned folklore guitarist, Solly Sebotso.

He mesmerised the followers with his popular songs like Sekitikiti and Pidipidi.

The second act of the night was another folklore guitarist Western, also known as Tinto alongside his wife.

She sang beautifully with a high-pitched voice driving natives into a frenzy.  A new entrant in the R&B market Zanele Tumelo performed one song titled Smile and left the crowd smiling yelling for more.

Another popular folklore guitarist from Maun, Stiga Sola would then take to the stage and rock the crowd with his popular song Makhapi Makhapentara.  

Stiga went on to perform more popular hits and later went on to hit the four-string guitar solo without the band. He proved to be a legendary creative engaging the crowd with his performance.

After a short break Sereetsi’s band WDP, set the stage alight performing two local songs and descended into jazz music before he joined them on stage. 

The fans got tired of sitting down and stood to dance just like Sereetsi did.  He brought so much energy to the stage making moves like those of rock stars as seen on TV. 

He and his band surely had so much fun entertaining the crowd. Their passion for what they were doing could be spotted as they kept engaging the crowd and dancing as they played their musical instruments.

Sereetsi proved to be a serial hitmaker as natives sang along to all the eight tracks from Motoko as well as other tracks from his previous album that he performed.
