After staging a series of successful shows earlier this year that left audiences yearning for more, Kelesitse & Friends is back this time around with a double feature. “This time around, I’m going deeper. I’ll be performing some of my old favourites, but also sharing unreleased work that is very close to my heart. My performances are not just about entertainment; they are about connection. I want people to leave feeling seen, heard, and inspired,” Kelesitse shared.
The celebrated poet and vocalist has previously staged successful performances both in Botswana and South Africa, cementing her reputation as one of the region’s most captivating live acts. She also revealed that she is currently working on a European tour that will introduce her unique blend of music, poetry, and theatre to international audiences. “I have always dreamed of performing on the same stage and festival that iconic artists such as the late Oliver Mtukudzi, veteran poet TJ Dema, and Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse have performed at. To be part of that legacy is truly humbling,” she said of her Maitisong debut.
