Contemporary artist Bholoja, born Mbongiseni Ngubane chatting to us about his music

Bholoja, born Mbongiseni Ngubane, is to be considered one of the most relevant figures of the contemporary African music scene. After the success of his first album, Swazi Soul, released in 2009, Bholoja gained vast appreciation and earned ample recognition in Southern Africa, becoming the first Swazi artist to achieve international exposure solely through the works of his music. He draws his inspiration from Swazi tradition and seeks to preserve the country's cultural heritage through his songs. His music is a response to the changing global situation and African growth challenges. This passionate artist soon became Eswatini's rising symbol of its native rhythms, melodies, arts and culture. Maintaining Swazi traditions is his greatest inspiration and his way of living, becoming a mouthpiece for the underprivileged, bringing forward a message of hope to the victims of true social and health pandemics. Bholoja's unique and original brand of music, which he calls Swazi Soul, quickly gained popularity in Southern Africa, and his distinctive and outstanding voice has become its symbol. Bholoja joins us in studio this morning to tell us more.. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
