Thebe

Of all the instruments, the voice is the most haunting, the most expressive. It is the sound closest to our soul. We remember voices with chilling recall.

The same can be said of kwaito whizz kid Thebe Mogane going only as Thebe. He broke into the music industry by mistake. Many who believed his voice was nothing but a pain in the ear where proven wrong when DJ Oscar Wa Rona met Thebe in Mmabatho, North West and encouraged him to sing as his voice was "fine".

His first album Dia Boa (Ko Philly) made Thebe an overnight success. He then came out smoking with The Vibe Continues "Mosito O Tswela Pele" made up of seven pulsating tracks. If the sounds in the album are anything to go by, it seems his vibe will be on eternally. Drawing from jazz influences Thebe takes kwaito music to another dimention.
