Just as with many African cities, the current popular soundtrack to life on the streets of Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, is amapiano. You can hear the thumping sound of the South African groove playing in the city’s hotels and restaurants, shops, private cars and public transport. Beneath the surface though, there is a diverse scene of live music.
“Gabz is a much slower city musically,” says Eddie Mihigo, a podcaster and music event host based in Botswana, whom we met during last month’s Kusi Ideas Festival organised by the Nation Media Group.
