Focalistic makes amapiano history with his Straata Nation Address concert
This past weekend, President ya Straata aka Focalistic, lit up Botanic Gardens as he hosted his debut The Straata Nation Address at the Pretoria National Botanic Gardens this past weekend. Known off-stage as Lethabo Sebetso, the star celebrated his meteoric rise to stardom in his hometown and marked a career milestone for the young sensation and solidified his position as the President of the Streets.
Focalistic spared no effort in delivering a show that would carve his name in the records of South African musical history. The line-up read like a who’s who of South African music, and specifically Amapiano royalty; featuring stellar performances by Blxckie, a G-Tech 2bit and DJ Tshegu, Sjava, Murdah Bongz, Dj PH, Tyler ICU, Pabi Cooper, and the dynamic duo Mellow & Sleazy. Foca had surprised guest acts from Ch’cco, M.J, and Eeque which had the crowd in awe. MC duties were masterfully handled by none other than the Skhanda queen herself, Moozlie.
In a reflective moment, Focalistic shared his thoughts, saying, “In all of these videos, I keep remembering that my MOM WAS WATCHING ME PERFORM FOR THE FIRST TIME. I can’t say thank you enough!!! History was made!! Everything is possible with GOD!! BOTANICAL GARDENS 2023!! 15,000 voices!!”
Focalistic’s “Straata Nation Address” at Pretoria National Botanic Gardens was more than just a concert; it was a cultural phenomenon, a testament to the power of music, and a celebration of one of South Africa’s brightest musical talents.
