POLOKWANE – Clement Maosa, best known for his role as Kwaito in the Sepedi soapie 'Skeem Saam', has released his new single, 'Lekompo Anthem' alongside rising artist Bayor97.
Rooted in the joyous spirit of Lekompo culture – where communities stay united and dance their troubles away – the track pays homage to a classic tune by the Dalom Kids while adding fresh energy for today's audiences.
Maosa sees Lekompo's rapid rise as the perfect moment to share a hit that bridges generations. 'My dream is to keep releasing music that travels internationally, bringing families together with that nostalgic, feel-good vibe,' he said. He hopes the anthem will earn widespread radio and television play, becoming a staple at family gatherings.
Music has always been at the heart of Maosa's life. From school choirs to Sunday school performances, he has embraced every opportunity to tell stories through song. 'An authentic artist pours their soul into their music,' he said.
Behind the scenes, Maosa faces familiar industry hurdles: securing effective public relations, marketing to broader audiences, and overcoming low streaming revenues. He tackles these challenges by leveraging his social media presence and seeking creative alternatives to keep his music in the spotlight.
For Bayor97, inspiration struck organically during a studio session. After reaching out to Maosa about a collaboration, he found the perfect moment to introduce a classic sample into the mix.
'I want to push this track to the limit, open new doors, and spark more collaborations.' With ambition and openness to wherever the journey leads, both artists are poised to take Lekompo culture, and their careers, to new heights.
