ARTS management and promotions company Harambee Global Records is targeting to sign at least 200 artistes by the end of 2021.
The signing of the artistes will see the company utilising the M4 million investment that has been channelled towards a state-of-the-art visual and audio studio.
Harambee founder, chief executive officer and chairperson, Masitise Seleso told the

The music and visual recording studio, that nearing completion, is housed at the company’s premises in the Stadium Area in Maseru and is primarily accessible to all artistes signed to Harambee as well as others from different music stables.

Leka recently released a new single titled
Jonna Wee which is already getting decent attention from different local radio stations. The track seems to be taking the same success trajectory as that of his 2020 releases;
