Borankana: the untimely death of a genre

Critics were elated because it looked like Batswana had found their voice, but alas, now only a decade later, this genre seems to be slowly declining.

Who could ever forget one of the pioneers of the genre Segomotso 'Kgobola' Nkgomo who introduced this style to Batswana? When the man sang his borankana hits in his gruff voice, Batswana sat up and noticed.  While Kgobola may have not made a killing with his catchy tunes, what he pioneered was soon embraced by younger musicians.
