Talented local artist, Dato Seiko’s emotional performance and cover of top South African House music DJ Zinhle’s hit Umlilo, left the latter in tears on Saturday at Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino.

Dato Seito was opening for DJ Zinle who was the main act for the night in an event titled ‘Fired Up with DJ Zinhle’. DJ Zinhle, who is also an author and a mother, revealed afterwards that she was all teary because Dato Seiko can sing. “I have heard a lot people sing the song and not a lot of people can sing the song the way she did. Just to hear someone so young sing like this was incredible,” DJ Zinhle said.

Real name Katlego Ntirang, Dato Seiko later joined DJ Zinhle during her set and specifically when the song Umlilo was played. “Maybe I should do a song in Botswana,” DJ Zinhle commented on the night. During her performance which was setting the mood for what turned out to be a great night for patrons, Dato Seiko performed most of her songs from her debut extended play (EP) titled ‘Grace Effect’. Dato Seiko is the younger sister to renowned kwaito artist Mapetla but she has now made a name of her own name and carving her own path.
