Pooyapina releases Ke ya Bokgwela

With just one album under his belt, Pooyapina says he believes that traditional music still has an essential role of shaping Setswana cultural identity and differentiating Batswana from the rest of the music world.

Although his history with the traditional music could be traced back to 2005 during his school days, the 26-year-old Seleka born artist only released his first album titled ‘Ke ya Bokgwela’ last year. Despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Pooyapina believes his album still has a good chance to make an impact in the local and regional music scenes with good marketing.
