Local songbird, Mpho Sebina is off to a great start in the New Year where she is set to perform on an internatio­nal stage in Washington DC in the United States of America at a session dubbed Naked Soul with Mpho Sebina on January 15, 2023.

The talented singer has been spearheadi­ng the local Naked Soul sessions in Gaborone, which are been held annually since inception in 2016. The event is a live music performanc­e platform meant to promote local musicians. After many years on the local shores, the Naked Soul will be trying on the internatio­nal space. Mpho Sebina is expected to stage her performanc­e at Home Rule Records 702 Kennedy St Nw from 6pm till 8pm.

Speaking to Arts & Culture, Mpho Sebina said Naked Soul is her brainchild as such she is excited to get the opportunit­y to share and export this local brand to the internatio­nal market.

She explained that this exposure will be of benefit to herself and her Naked Soul brand.

“It’s a beautiful way to network and build relationsh­ips with The Diaspora and I am also looking forward to connecting with the local artists from there from music, fashion to film,” Mpho Sebina said.

Furthermor­e, she said people can expect a

showcase of Botswana artistry through music and storytelli­ng as she feels Botswana has so much to offer. She said the world needs to hear more about Botswana, therefore it is through these activities that Botswana can get to be known on the internatio­nal stage.

DC will be free, however, donations are welcome.

Mpho Sebina also said she has a lot in store including plans to drop an EP during the year. She stated that the EP will feature collaborat­ions with several female artists across the African continent.
