Botswana: Kemo Dladleng!

29 April 2008


Jeffrey Matheatau has unleashed an album that might fulfill lofty ambitions. This ever-smiling brother's new album simply entitled "Kemo Dladleng" was recorded at Gramma Studio in Zimbabwe with backing vocalists done by Rider Segwabe and Kumakili Kusere on guitars while Taurai Boora pumps the drums. The 6-track album features songs such as Segata Borokgwana, Dikatara, Bo Marata Helele, Zvakanaka and Ma-Sugar Mama.
