(RE) JOMOVISA : SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC ARTIST/ INTERNATIONAL MUSO
MUSICAL
CAREER
2000
Hell
Razors – TRACK TITLED “Dubula Magazine” and “Bazo Lenda” created a platform for
JOMOVISA as he paved his way with only what he knew to do best back then
2002 Gommora – HIT
TRACK TITLED “Living in The Ghetto” saw him be exposed to the wonders of the
entertainment industry as the group Gommora’ supply and demand chain was
unsurpassed due to the popularity of the
track. He learned all he could at that point of time , partly the dangers of
the music industry, the wonders of the industry as well as the hidden of the
recording industry and that made him a conscious person to reveal his morals
and values of not crossing paths with what he doesn’t know or doesn’t agree
with
2004 till early 2014
saw him with the kwaito group he orchestrated and pioneered SMOKOLO with hit
tracks like “suga-mama” (video on YouTube) “Maboneng”, “Njandini”
and “AS’GIDE”
ON ITUNES” put him on the map as JOMOVISA was finally accepted by the
audience on a musical sphere from his live performances and newspaper articles
as well as roadshows and other initiatives.
Late 2014 saw him on a scale of mastering his
inner self and went through some rebranding as like previously mentioned that
he doesn’t associate himself with immoral behaviour and excruciating inhuman
behavioural tendencies he managed to
pull his strings together and by the beginning of 2015 came on his solo path as JOMOVISA.
The album will be marketed and distributed online by
AFRICORI and published by OKADAMUSIC (African Vibes)more about jomovisa

(RE) THE TIMES OF LEBO MATHOSA : SOUTH AFRICA
Lebo Mathosa (1977 - 23 October 2006) was a popular South African kwaito singer. Mathosa started her career with the popular South African band Boom Shaka in 1994 at the age of 15, after she caught the eye of music producer Don Laka at a club in Johannesburg. She was one of the few successful female kwaito artists in an industry dominated by males. She turned solo in 1999. Her debut solo album Dream went gold within 4 weeks of its launch in 2000. At the 2001 South African Music Awards, Mathosa won Best Dance Album for Dream, Best Dance Single for her debut single Intro from the same album, and Best Female Vocalist. Her next album, Drama Queen released in 2004, again earned the SA Music Award for Best Dance Album. She topped the South African pop charts in 2004, and in 2006 she was nominated for a British MOBO award (Best African Act category). She performed all over the world, from Southern Africa to Malaysia to Trafalgar Square in London, one of her most significant performances being at Nelson Mandela's 85th birthday party. She also toured the US with the show The Vagina Monologues. Her appearance in a show with such a positive feminist message is indicative of the attitude held by Mathosa, who, according to author Zine Magube, has become "a role model for many young South African women, [appearing] at first glance to simply be reinforcing stereotypes about the wanton nature of Black female sexuality. Some critics have argued however that Boom Shaka's female members have used 'the skimpy clothes, the gyrating hips, and simulated sex onstage to promote a variety of apposite concerns. '" This strong pro-feminist attitude combined with her often shocking onstage sexuality earned her the nickname "The New Madonna of the Townships". She was well known for her dyed blond hair, her live shows and outrageous stage outfits, and was openly bisexual. She was frequently compared to the South African singer Brenda Fassie, who died in 2004. She won the Style Best Dressed Woman of the Year Award in 2001, and was nominated by FHM magazine as one of Africa's sexiest women. Mathosa died in a car crash, aged 29, after her driver lost control of her vehicle in Johannesburg.
