Culture Spears - Ekentolo Page 4.

Eke Ntolo was initially started to pass time while still awaiting the release of Culture Spears next album. The initiative which was started about three(3) years ago by mainly Culture Spears members went on to become a success after being made popular by the comedy known as Rra Mozara. The comedy is featured at the end of each album's dvd and has so far seen the release of Volumes1-3. The first album known as Emang Basadi talked about Women's capabilities in the society and it has six tracks among them Bomalala, Maleli, Emang Basadi,1966 and Bomalome. The second album or Volume 2 featured songs such as the title track; Chika Dance, Mannana, Zimba, Jealous,Kgomo ya metsi and Ramozara. Most of the songs in the album were a collaboration by Culture Spears members and the group(s) that worked closely with them (Culture Spears) but one song (Jealous) was specifically sung by one Lydia Oile who is a dancer for Culture Spears. The album was also a hit and eventually it surpassed the airplay enjoyed by previous one more especially the then everyone's favorite song Chika Dance. This album also gave birth to Charma Gal, the lady made popular by leading Culture Spears' songs but on this album she showed her versatility. From the second offering Eke Ntolo's star shone more brighter as the third album or volume 3 as people prefer to put it became the most sought after and listened among the local tunes. As a norm, Eke Ntolo volume 3 also has six tracks which include the hit song Matebele which aslo happens to be the the title track. The song is so popular that even five year olds can sing a verse or two for you. The other tracks in the album are; Mozara by Mickey, Selelo (Charma Gal), Mokete (Mickey), Johane 14 (Charma Gal), O boa leng (Mickey) and the most listened to song Matebele by Charma Gal. The album is available in both Cassetes,CD and DVD and it includes a comedy at the end of the dvd. The comedy features the evergreen RraMozara but this time around he is accompanied by two of the funniest characters in Rramonyaku and Rramokwetjepe as well as Mozara. Believe you me, this is one of the best locally produced comedies ever, however people should expect more from the next album which is volume 4. People should also not forget that Culture Spears will be releasing their fourth "traditional" album sometime this year, just watch the space.......!
