Afro jazz sensation Tumediso "Shanti-Lo" Loeto has recorded a new album entitled Lorato. Shanti-Lo's manager and jazz promoter, Soares "DJ SK" Katumbela said the album would be released before the end of this year.

He said once the album is out, they plan to launch it in Maun and Francsitown.  Ace guitarist John Selolwane is the producer of the album.  Shanti-Lo was belting out hits from the forthcoming album during the recent shows that he staged in Francistown and at the Botswanacraft.  By the look of things, the album is not going to be a disappointment just like his previous releases. 

Shanti-Lo has become one of the most promising local Afro jazz artists, having already released two albums.  His involvement in music goes back a long way when he was still a small boy.  He was a member of the Watoto band at the age of nine when most of his age mates were playing with wire cars.  The Watoto band was a combination of Batswana and South African musicians.  It was an initiation of Shanti-Lo's parents, his father Clifford and his gospel singer mum, Mpho Loeto.  The band often belted out tunes that were playing on radio, mostly '80s pop and South African disco along side music that ranged anything from Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens.
