Sereetsi & the Natives will be sharing the coveted MTN Bushfire stage alongside an all star lineup from the 24 to 26th May 2019. Listed by BBC as a ‘Top African festival’ the MTN Bushfire revealed that Sereetsi is considered a pioneer in the cultural landscape of Botswana and the band presents a fearless sound that blends traditional Botswana rhythms with Western influences.
