He deviated from the tradition of playing one of his many revered hits and played something no one has ever heard before. It was a romantic story about how love and romance cut across social barriers.He chose to sing perfect love from the eyes of a poor man. The rendition proved to be a beauty in the eyes of hundreds of traditional music lovers who thronged the Btv auditorium to enjoy the night.The brand new Stiger sola composition is sure to remain one of the signature tunes of this year's Heritage Month performances which has over the years delighted music lovers with some memorable tunes such as Pidipidi by Solly Sebotso, Ke a gana, by Rasta Makaso of Letlhakeng.
Stigger sola is also famed for romantic folk classics such as Kachere, and Macapentara, the latter performed over 30 years ago, for Radio Botswana's Sunday morning folk music programme dipina le maboko, before the artist released it on tapes and CDs when he launched his recording career. It remains to be seen, however, how long it would take stigger Sola and his prospective producers to drop his newest composition in the market.Previous stars of this dikatara category have failed to capitalise on their popularity, with both Pidipidi by Solly Sebotso, and Ke a gana, by Rasta Makaso, still yet to be released on CD. Despite his heart-warming performance, Stigger was not the champion in his category, where he came second to a not so impressive Ramotswa man, Batladira Radipitse, who belted a song praising President Khama's government for supporting artistes through the Heritage month initiative.
