For the very first time, Sengwaketse who goes by the stage name Obakeng treated his family, friends and colleagues with beautiful melodies from his new album Ho Tseba Modimo, leaving the audience mesmerised.

The album has 13 tracks in which the 34-year-old singer from Kanye collaborated with other artists.
