Kommanda Obbs to grace the Black Labone stage!

 The Love Black Labone has been getting from the mountain Kingdom (Lesotho) is worthy of mention taking into consideration that we consistently welcomed artists from Lesotho, more so than any other neighboring nation, thereby fostering a rich dialogue and appreciation for the diversity of Southern African music.


We are raring with excitement to announce that this week we will be hosting the honourable Kommanda Obbs. With lyrics that resonate with themes of identity, heritage, and societal narratives, Kommanda Obbs offers the listener a profound insight into the cultural landscape of the Basotho . These connections we have made with the artists of Lesotho are not merely about stage performance but are a testament to the power of music in bridging divides.

FUNDING FOR HERITAGE PROJECTS – closing 30 August 2024

The National Heritage Council makes funding available to community initiatives that would ordinarily not have access loans from financial institutions. The funding is mainly to assist in starting and establishing a project that can in future have prospects of sustaining itself or attracting alternative funding from other donors. 

Projects that have received funding would benefit more than just financial assistance from the NHC. The project leaders and participants would have exposure to formal project management skills, administration, reporting and accountability. The NHC believes that the skills in these various areas equip the projects with excellence and improved prospects to attract more funding and support.
