Reggae guru Callet ''Burning Doctor'' Lisoga recently released a new album, Thivhilaeli.
The album comprises nine melodious songs and, according to the artist, he is very happy about the latest release. He added that the album was already doing well commercially.
His first album, Athitanwi, hit the air waves in 2002. It proved all the critics wrong, as the first print of the album was sold out within two weeks. It was followed by Nyimelo (2003). At least seven albums and a DVD followed after the first two albums and Lisoga enjoys a large fan base.
He was born at Ha-Tshino and started singing as a little boy in the Tshino Sweet melody choir. He later became the lead vocalist in the Tshino Pentecostal Church.
“Even though I am presently using my old studio, I try to work with different producers to avoid creating the sounds and same level of quality which the other in-house artists seem to achieve,” says Lisoga.
Some of the stand-out songs on this album include Tshifhinga, Crazy World, Thanga Phanda and Loswo is coming. On this album, he is using a new style in terms of sound and rhythm.
Lisoga sounds gloomy and sad as he speaks about the "malignant poison of piracy. I sell my music at taxi ranks in the town around Vhembe,” he says. “While I occupy this corner here, those who pirate our work will occupy the area over there, selling my music at a mere R10 per MP3 collection.”
