Mpho Molikeng Band & Solo

Mpho Molikeng Music : (Band & Solo) - Is a contemporary Basotho traditional music band.
The band first was formed in 2009 by Mpho Molikeng and friends with a passion for Lesotho music as ‘Likoefa’ (a term loosely translates to Macho men) and it consisted of three members.
The main instruments of the band are Mamokhorong/Sekhankula (a bow made of oil can), Moropa (Basotho drum made of tyre tube and bottle tops), voices and percussion. The band has added a classical bass guitar and few other Lesotho indigenous gems like Lesiba, Thomo & Mokhope.
