in 2011 Sotho Sounds recorded their debut album
Sotho Sounds Malealea, produced by Risenga Makondo, in 2003. The band sold the album on CDs at concerts. In July 2003 Sotho Sounds performed at
WOMAD festival in the UK. In 2012 Sotho Sounds' album
Junk Funk was released on
Riverboat Records. Robin Denselow of
The Guardian wrote of the album that "[Sotho Sounds'] approach may be rough and ready but their energy and enthusiasm are contagious." In a review of the album,
The Independent compared Sotho Sounds favourably to
Konono Nº1 and
Staff Benda Bilili, who also play self-made instruments. That same year Sotho Sounds told
Deutschlandfunk that most
Basotho were more interested in western music than the traditional music that they play. ==Discography==
