Johannes Mokgwadi 14 Mogoba

‘Tsodio Le Kwembu’ has been out of print and unavailable for several decades (although an illegal bootleg CD was circulated with bad quality sound dubbed off a worn copy of the old album.) Our new legal re-release has been taken directly from the master tapes and we have also included the remaining eight tracks from the earlier Mogkwadi session with James Twala. Download the album in various high quality formats from https://johannesmokgwadi.bandcamp.com ‘Harepa’ is a musical genre that is unique to the Sepedi-speaking Northern Sotho - or Pedi - cultural group who are predominantly resident in the Limpopo Province of northern South Africa. In the mid-19th century, when this area was still an independent entity known as Sekukunaland, it was proselytised by German Lutheran missionaries who brought the German harp with them as a musical tool to aid in their conversion efforts. Eventually, the Pedi began using the harp to accompany their own indigenous vocally-centred music, tuning it to the five-tone scale upon which their pre-colonial genre was based. The result of this fusion of indigenous with a touch of Western influence was ‘harepa’ (from ‘harp’) and while often referred to as being ‘traditional’, it is in fact more correctly classified as ‘neo-traditional’.
