earned himself recognition in both, the underground and mainstream music scene.
After many years of hard work, and with three albums under his name, last year
saw this Namibian Ambassador receive the RFI Discovery Awards, from more than
500 participants from all over Africa, Pacific and Indic Ocean. As part of this
prize, Elemotho will embark on a promotional Tour of 24 countries, 30 shows in
3 months, putting Namibian music on the African Map. He will be going from East
to West Africa as well as Southern Africa, and including a special concert in
the French Capital, Paris.
Elemotho will be accompanied by his four
piece band, Ermelinda Thataone on vocals and shakers, Polina Loubnina on the
flute, Samuel Batola on guitar and vocals and Moses Saize on percussions. With
a repertoire of meditative melodies, messages for our modern times, Elemotho
promises to not only move your feet but also your mind…for he wants to hit with
words and chords that carry a power beyond bullets and hunger...Ke Nako Afrika
Tour 2013 is sure to spread the sound of the Kalahari to ears across the
African continent and beyond. Ke Nako, the time is now!
