Fans who appreciate and support traditional African music mostly will tell you about the quality of African instruments that symbolise our different cultures. Traditional music will always remain part of our roots while the powerful messages keep shaping our generations to deal with life challenges.
Teboho Sputla Pitiri is a legendary Traditional Sesotho musician all the way from Mabenyeng, Mangolong, Eastern Cape Province in South Africa, currently found in Klipfontein, Gauteng Province. Motho oa Mabenyeng, as popularly known, said his music is inspired by (Faila wa Lekhotla la Mabenya) and (Metjodi ea Mabenyeng)’s music.
“Music is my first love, It started in the late 80s until 2021 when I started to assist artists with radio interviews . In July 2023, I recorded my first album titled “Nna ke Jeleng” which is available in all music platforms”, he said.
The album is well appreciated by his fans and saw him scooping awards such as, Best Maskandi Newcomer Certificate - KZN Namuhla Artist Awards 2024 and Best Upcoming Artist - Amaqhawanentaba FM 4th Annual Music Awards 2024. However, lack of proper music equipments and exposure is still a concern for Motho oa Mabenyeng.
“The main reason behind traditional music is to expose our culture and roots to our youth so they move out of the streets, stay away from drugs and learn to respect one another. Aspiring artists must believe in their art, have good listening skills and faith. I am proud to work with hardworking and dedicated team by myside”, he added.
