Shumba ready to roar

Although the Bobirwa artist is not releasing any album this year, he revealed to Showbiz that his group, Ditawana, "will be going into the studio any time" to release its debut album. Ratshega, whose second smash hit album, Makhirikhiri earned him the Best Traditional Track award at the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) awards ceremony last December, said he would only release another album next January.

Shumba said Ditawana is a group that specialises in Dikhwaere music and expects it to make a huge impact in a genre that has been flooded by local artists.
