Legendary Congolese guitarist, Kapenda Katuta has released an 11-song instrumental album recorded live at Masa Square (now Protea Hotel) in the CBD.

Although his instrumental music may not have lyrics, the album tells stories. Track number four titled A12 road (Molepolole/ GC) phala is one of the songs which stands out from the rest of the album. This is particularly because of the (whistle) sound in the background which sort of fuses jazz and traditional Setswana music.

“A12 is the road I know by heart which takes me to work and back home. This is the road I travel the most and this song is emerging to be the favourite of many who have listened to the album. The traditional percussion was amplified by Sua Pan,” Katuta told Arts & Culture in an interview.
