With features from celebrated African voices such as Aya Chebbi of Tunisia, Karun of Kenya, and Mopao Mumu of the DRC, “Alkebulan” is a sonic journey across the Mother Continent of the World.
A pan-African soundscape
Each track reflects the diversity and richness of Africa’s music, blending soul, tradition and activism. “This project is my love letter to Africa,” Sebina shares on her platforms. “It pays homage to the continent’s different sounds and celebrates the beauty of female voices.”
Mpho Sebina’s unique sound, which she describes as Setswana Soul, merges her native culture and language into soulful, emotive music. As one of the leading artists in Botswana, she continues to represent her roots on the global stage, infusing her work with messages of love and healing.
From “Neo” to “Alkebulan”
Sebina’s musical journey began with her debut EP “Neo” in 2017, featuring hits like “No Evil,” “Black Butterfly” and “Tjuele,” as well as her critically acclaimed album “Lora.” Her latest offering, “Alkebulan,” marks her second EP.
As fans eagerly await the release of “Alkebulan,” the first two singles offer a tantalising glimpse into a project that promises to be both a musical triumph and an ode to the spirit of Africa.
