Basotho Music on CD

FOL is pleased to offer a CD of Basotho music with thirty songs sung by students at The Catholic Technical School of Leribe (CTSL) and recorded by Don & Donna Hanford (Leribe 2000-2002). Don previously sold the CDs on behalf of CTSL and has handed them over to FOL for sales to support the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). We hope you enjoy this music that is sure to bring back fond memories of your time in Lesotho. All proceeds go to the Tuition Assistance Program. Copies are $10. Order now.

The faculty of CTSL using a basic PC and a simple microphone recorded the music for this CD. Considering that they didn’t have two microphones, a mixer or a sound room the quality is very good. My involvement other than the teaching them how in early classes was to stand in the back of the room and observe. I was not present for the last recording session of ten songs. I am very proud of them. I hope you enjoy this music and that it brings back fond memories of your time in Lesotho.
