KB spears to the top
Culture Spears co-lead singer Kabelo Mogwe has released his first single under the all-familiar name ‘Kulenyane’.
The song, titled ‘Mogatse KB’ invokes memories long past.
KB, with the signature Culture Spears melody that made the group a Southern Africa powerhouse with songs such as ‘Khudu’ and ‘Selonyane’, is back to his very best with this banger.
KB borrows heavily from folklore songs, fusing them with his own witty style to deliver another traditional smash hit.
Littered with relevant Setswana idioms and a lead guitar that caresses the soul, this is not a bad way to start a challenging year for local artists.
CHARMA GAL
One of the nation’s best-loved singers, Charma Gal has dropped a Christmas cracker sure to get pulses racing this festive.
In ‘Ke nna ke di busang’, Charma Gal maintains her trademark sound – a sound that has established the Mosakaso queen as an industry mainstay over the last 15 years.
The festive offering caps a busy year for the singer, who has featured on a number of singles, including hits from South African star Makhadzi, Han C, and Culture Spears to mention but a few.
