Morena Sway

In the heart of Lesotho's vibrant music scene, a rising luminary is taking the spotlight. Bataung Michael Mpota, fondly known as Morena Sway, embodies the essence of a musical genius, bringing a fresh and dynamic sound that transcends borders.

Immersed in a household with a rich religious backdrop, Morena Sway's musical journey found roots in his mother's melodic presence within the church choir. Today, he stands on the brink of stardom, poised to redefine the music industry.

His genre-defying approach blends old-school vernacular love music with Afrobeat influences, creating a unique sonic experience deeply rooted in Lesotho's rich cultural tapestry. Morena Sway's music is more than a composition; it's a profound narrative of love, loss, and the healing power of melodies.

The pivotal moment that ignited this musical journey was the loss of his mother, a period of profound reflection and discovery. "LERATO," named after his late mother, became the vessel through which he channelled his emotions, fusing the sounds that once resonated through their home.
