BOTSWANA'S VOICES ON CD

I have on behalf of SAUTI Arts and Performance Management, been quietly working on a project to record 12 Batswana spoken word artists/poets on 1 CD and am hoping it will be released this August.

We don't want to give away too much but if you sign up to our facebook page : SAUTI Arts and Performance Management you'll certainly be the first to know the project details especially which poets we've put on and why and the distribution channels etc.

I did have a chat with the folks at Southern World Arts News recently and you can see that interview at their blog here.

Do come a-visiting soon.
