Having its footprint in Tshwane and surrounding areas, Barcadi is a music genre that started in the early 2000’s. Many will remember the front runners like bo Bojo Mujo, Ma-Eli, Mujava, Bakstena, Costa to mention a few. At the time, songs that ruled Tshwane were the likes of Summer Rain ya Bojo Mujo, Naja , and of course Mogwanti Wa Pitoria. Who will forget Thebz Le Madonga’s “He nkao fa o nketsetsang”, “Tobetsa (Mmao hao bone)”? And of course hits came after hits: Lerao Leo, Casablanca Tsotsi Rae tlhaba, Kaizer! Few years later, Rrekere, as it is affectionately known, took huge strides, my first notable song being Mapentani’s Saka-Saka....
“Hole hole, a se mo jika majika ke mo di spinni hierso, rae spinna daai ding! Names that rule this music at this moment are Dada Man, JD Monate, Kapa Kapa, Mapentani, Nyiko, Bongs, to mention just a few. There are thousands of Barcadi hits out there; everyone’s got their own favourite song of the moment.
