Song & Dance by Basotho men



The dance is called mohobelo, it's a men's dance. This type of song is a lengae. In the background there's usually (like here) a praise poet (mothothokisi) rapping. In the foreground is the sephokoli or song leader. Then the "choir", backing it all up with bass. I particularly like the way this sephokoli is leading it all.
