Moja Sa Gagwe (Seileng)

A poignant playful call to participation!

Baeng

This loop is a nod to the Johannesburg-based Kalawa Jazmee Records, particularly to the Bruce Dope Sebitlo/Thebe team. Its taken from 'Hade Kgogo Diletsosa' by Thebe

The two musicians have been working together in Mafikeng (Mmabatho, South Africa) before they signed to Kalawa. They continued to remain a unique voice within Kwaito, characterised by deep basslines and captive piano chords. There are very few solo Kwaito artists who can track a record of consistent annual presence like Thebe can. He is the original Lenyora.
