Leshelwa is a Shekalagari word that means melon, or lerotse/lekatane in Setswana. This is one of a kind melon from which we derive different kinds of dishes such as legodu, bogobe jwa lerotse, lengangale, dithotse and water can also be drawn from the same. Alcohol such as Khadi is also made out of the same melon. There is life in this melon of ours in our country that is 85% desert.

Mantshetlhana is my own composition and arrangement of a Setswana sung traditional rhythm enhanced with reggae flavour on Bass and Drums. This is the first recording of its kind in Botswana in which the "Segaba/ a one stringed violin like sounding instrument" was for the first time played and recorded live along side contemporary instruments in a Band like setting in an album that was released in 2009. This has brought another dimension into the Botswana music industry by recognizing one of our own traditional instruments and bringing it forth into the front line of contemporary music recordings and performance. Follow and share if you enjoy, this music is made in Gantsi. Blessed Love Always.

The title "Siki", refers to sixpence, a coin of the English. It talking about this guy who have had luck and picked a sixpence coin from the dog poo while he couldn't pick the one he saw in the center of the chicken poo because the latter smells!???! This song is sung in Shekgalagari, a common language of the peoples of the Kgalagadi Desert in western Botswana.

"Rastafari" is a beautifully crafted praise song that is sung in Setswana which is one of the two official languages in our wonderful and peace loving Botswana. It is giving thanks and praises to the MOST HIGH JAH RASTAFARI for being the guide, the father and the LIGHT that shines so bright for the benefit of humanity and the prosperity of the universe.
