Pick Of The Week - Culture Spears (Botswana)

Two irresistible tunes from a song and dance troupe from Botswana

This just in. A pair of earwormy songs from Botswana, a country whose musical contributions tend to be overshadowed by their neighbors in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Which is not intended as a slight to Botsawana, by the way. What little bit of their music I've heard has been great stuff.

Culture Spears have been around for quite a while now - more than thirty years. But for me, they're a new discovery, and a very welcome one. I've been taking a deep dive into their music after running across them for the first time this week. It was a challenge to narrow down my choices to just two songs. But I'll make up for it. I'll be posting more from them soon.

Speaking of Botswana and music, be sure to take a look at my previous post about the unorthodox stylings of some of the country's guitar players.
