Modise Sekgothe's debut EP, released in May 2017, finds its way to stage for the first time. DIPOKO tsa DIPOKO is a solo project that explores the use of one voice as its own instrument, lead and narrator.
The aim with this collaboration is to find bodies into which the many voices can return, all of which are now housed in members of vocal ensemble: Art24 Academy.
The sound thus being reinterpreted in a somewhat traditional acapella fashion, punctuated by the djembe, vocals and poetry.
An exploration of the expansion of the sound, through a multiplicity of body/voices.

Audience Responses
Modise Sekgothe immersed the audience in a divine spirituality that is otherwise inaccessible for the new, "enlightened" black woman or man who has detached from the general traditional upbringing which sought to develop this century's disciples of Christ. This was new church. A place of letting go, and letting ghosts. A place of freedom and expression. A place of comfort and reach. Sekgothe's genius does not waver whether it be in poetry or vocals or djembe. Just beautiful. Nomashenge
