Four String Confessions
Sereetsi & the Natives is a refreshing definitive reference in the contemporisation of folk music in Botswana and a unique
voice in the World Music arena. The act presents a fearless new sound that is as forward looking as is rooted in the
indigenous musical traditions of Botswana.
Sereetsi’s signature is the Botswana (Africa) four string folk guitar and the many traditional rhythms of the southern African country. A songwriter, producer and author, Sereetsi has emerged as the foremost curator of this oral guitar tradition, thanks also in part to the release of his acclaimed book/CD, the first ever guitar instructional book/CD in Botswana, titled The Solo
Four String Guitar of Botswana.
The 83 page book resulted from a research of the Botswana folk guitar's tuning, chords, song form, origin and development.
Sereetsi & the Natives employs master storytelling and poetic lyricism to offer commentary on light and dark themes such
as love, conflict, pain, joy and hope.
