Mansize music group recently released a new single titled ‘Mama.’The song is an appreciati­on song to mothers of the nation. Mansize is a passionate soulful group of four performers: Thebeyame Letebele, Percy and Tefo Montwedi and Kabelo Kegodile.

Group leader Letebele told Vibe that the song praises the love and support that mothers extend to their children and how a true mother always strives to care for and protect their children. “The message of the song is that all mothers out there should know that they are special and that a child is worthy of love and respect just like them. Children might be small now, but they grow up and they will the ones taking care of their mothers in the future,” he said.

The single is an afro-house hit which was produced by DJ Skizho BW and was mixed and mastered by DJ KSB.

Letebele said their refreshing sound had already endeared them to music lovers. “Our music is unique and many people think we are a foreign crew because of the good quality of our work. We took time to process the song so that we could come up with a unique sound,’ he said. He expressed hope that their inspiratio­nal and motivation­al songs would earn them a soft spot in the hearts and minds of music lovers.

‘Ko Patlelong’, a song by Flexybouy Hardgee, featuring SABADE is a reminisce of good olden traditiona­l games, and aimed at embracing Botswana culture.

“Times have changed and today’s generation is not aware of the cultural lifestyle and games that were used to be very interestin­g back then, so ‘Ko Patlelong ’ hit tries to bring back those good memories,” Flexybouy told Vibe. The song was released early this month, and he says that he is excited about this collaborat­ion with SABADE, a member of The Real Magosi crew. For him, collaborat­ions are special because they take out talent from different musicians in the industry, and help them not to limit themselves. This song is in Sghubu genre, “I call the genre Sghubu, because it is a combinatio­n of Motswako sounds and Jazz type,” he said. He believes the song is already serving its purpose as people love it. “The feedback is awesome, honestly people love the song and they are even buying hard copies to support me,” he shares.

He tells Vibe that the song is also shared on online platforms and currently playing on RB1, while he awaits to hear it on other radio stations too.

The official video to this song will drop in November, he says and promise that it is fully packed with the vibe that demonstrat­es ‘Ko patlelong’ game to teach the now generation about old games, through this particular one.

“We have recently started shooting some clips, and anticipate to release it in November,” he said. The song was recorded at Tru-African Studios.
