SEBOKENG.- The group was formed in 2019 after the musicians decided to come together to form a collaboration. It must be noted that this is not just another group, but a unique group that promotes the Sesotho music.

In an exclusive interview with Sedibeng Ster, the trio, Tlhaho “Jan Qabatsane” Ntabanyane, Mphonyane “Starpora” Mosala and Motake “Pheko” Sekoli said that they is a serious need to revive Sesotho music and make it popular like in the past. Apart from singing Sesotho music, the trio can sing different kinds of music including Hip Hop, but they told Sedibeng Ster that their aim is to perform internationally to promote their own Sesotho music.

“We believe that as a group we are going to achieve what we wouldn’t achieve as individuals. We have known each other for a long time before we decided to collaborate in 2019. The truth is that the Sesotho music has been neglected and we as Masupatsela  want to promote our the indigenous music. We must be proud of our culture like other nations, in the form of music especially  in the arts and culture. Growing up, we used to play indigenous games, and we used to listen our own Sesotho music because those before us were proudly singing in their own languages unlike today,” they told Sedibeng Ster.

This group is managed by one of the ambitious local individuals, Teboho Letsatsi who wishes to take their talent further, and for them to go and perform internationally. The group has been invited to high profile events in Sedibeng and they were recently part of Theta FM anniversary celebrations where they shared the stage with some high profile local musicians such as Masedi.

Letsatsi told Sedibeng Ster that they want to tour the world to promote Sesotho music because there is a need to be proud of their heritage.

“Look, young as they are, we felt they must sing in their own language. People should not be ashamed to singing in their own languages because this is who we are as Africans. We must also encourage our children to sing in their own languages to promote of arts, culture and recreation,” said Letsatsi.
