The Voice (Francistown)

Posted to the web 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.

The festive season's weather would have tested ducks, but those who braved the pouring rain for the debut performance by Matheatau were well rewarded.

The brother came to us complete with a mission statement to be an innovative and energized ensemble, bringing varied and inspired performances to audiences across the country. If these concerts were anything to go by, his lofty ambitions could be realized. CDs and cassettes are now available in stores and for bookings pliz contact: 72602732...

Say the name Shanti-Lo and just about anybody with the slightest interest in music and fashion would know exactly whom you are talking about.

Tumediso Loeto is a musical and cultural icon that continues to carve a golden niche for himself in the industry singing folklore songs spiced up with a bit of jazz. Besides, there's that mystery caused by his apparent femininity that makes him stand out in a crowd and turn heads where-ever he goes.

From an early age, Loeto has always known that he'd one day turn into a music star.

But he's also a seasoned fashion designer whose flair for fashion is threatening to one-day give the Calvin Kleins of this world a run for their money.
