Othusitse Moatlhodi, who goes by stage name Pooyapina, is the new traditional music artist determined to continue promoting Setswana culture with his music

With just one album under his belt, Pooyapina says he believes that traditional music still has an essential role of shaping Setswana cultural identity and differentiating Batswana from the rest of the music world.

Despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Pooyapina believes his album still has a good chance to make an impact in the local and regional music scenes with good marketing.
