Band leader Tomeletso Sereetsi’s signature four-string guitar-led compositions will intertwine with the rich textures of violins, cellos, flutes and other classical instruments, creating a sonic experience that redefines Botswana’s musical landscape.
The performance marks a career-defining moment for Sereetsi, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his illustrious musical journey. Having mesmerised audiences across the globe, he now returns home to celebrate a decade of storytelling through song, this time with the epic scale of a full orchestra.
A decade of music reimagined
Fans can expect a carefully curated recital of Sereetsi & The Natives’ most beloved works, spanning the acclaimed 2015 debut Four-String Confessions and the latest album, Mmabatho (2024).
Each song will be reimagined in a grand symphonic arrangement, offering a fresh perspective on the melodies that have shaped his career.
With the show running for three hours from 8pm, attendees will not only be treated to a feast for the ears but also an indulgence for the palate.
