Sotho Sounds' Favourite Track: Guest Playlist

Riverboat Records band Sotho Sounds have compiled an exclusive guest playlist featuring some of their favourite tracks. 

Sotho Sounds are funky shepherds from the Kingdom of Lesotho who have quite literally invented their own music, crafted their own instruments and now continue to follow their own mission – turning junk into funk.

Sotho Sounds' excellent debut album Junk Funk is available now

Sotho Sounds - Junk Funk

Junk Funk is Sotho Sounds debut album and perfectly captures the excitement and humorous bounce of their live performances. The eccentric band met whilst shepherding in the lofty hills of Lesotho, a landlocked enclave surrounded by the Republic of South Africa. Junk Funk is one of the first international recordings to come from Lesotho and is set to spread the unmistakeable Sotho Sounds worldwide.
