Dikhwaere may be the oldest form of music but it is seemingly catching up on the local scene though this time it is done with a mixture of instrumentals.

It used to be a tradition that the music is sang during Christmas holidays or wedding ceremonies. But a number of local musicians are currently trying hard to revive the music, which is common in the rural areas, by commercialising it. 

To mention a few, Kangangwani 'Dr Vom' Mogocha set the fire burning late last year with his album Dr Vom vs Diparo, which was dedicated to the senior national soccer team, Zebras. Just recently a four-member group from Selebi-Phikwe, Dijammogo, unleashed another thrilling eight-track album, Monono, of the same genre Now, traditional music kingpins Gong Master and Ditiro 'DT' Leero have collaborated to release another Dikhwaere album they call Makanyane. All the mentioned projects have undoubtedly put the Dikwaere music in fashion.
