Romeo “ThaGreatwhite” Dzedzemane’s 16-track album, aptly called ThaGreatWhite, has finally hit digital music stores and is already making big waves in the music industry.
The album, released only last month, has so far accumulated 90 000 streams on digital platforms, making it the biggest release in the Afro Pop and Hip-Hop genres in Venda to date. It has everything, from love songs, dance- and club tunes to songs that speak to the soul.
Romeo is undeniably one of the hottest music acts at the moment. “To be honest, when I started recording this album, I felt like a new-born baby. I felt like I was about to take my first breath,” he said. “The featuring of other artists made it that more amazing, and almost every story in there is my own.”
Romeo Dzedzemane is available on Facebook (Romeo Sliqmusiq) and YouTube. His album is also available in almost all major digital online stores for either downloading or streaming.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
