Hydro’s new album infuses different music genres :: Mmegi Online

Thabang Molefe, who goes by the name Hydro, has released an album titled Dimapo which is an infusion of folk music, jazz, contemporary poetry and traditional music. "Dimapo was inspired by the support I had from my friends and from where I come from and also by the fans who felt every piece of my music.

I would call the type of music I am doing contemporary traditional music," Hydro revealed in an interview. He said Dimapo was his first album and it was recorded at SkitBeatz Studio and produced by Mokgweetsi Skit Kabomo. “This is the first time portraying myself as a musician. I would ask the public to consider my music to be spiritual and a lot of them can relate and feel what I talk about in my songs," he said.

Looking back, he said he started his music journey at Mogwana Traditional Dance Troupe where he learnt how to play traditional instruments like segaba, setinkane, and marimba le meropa, adding some vocals in them.
