MUSIC IS OUR LIFE!

The Spharaphara music crew

Loxion Spharaphara is a group of young boys from Tsakane extension 13. They were born and grew up in the township. They met from the township and they decide to come up with the group and start making music. “We stated Loxion Spharaphara (their group) in 2008, there were three of us when we started the group and they asked me to come up with a name we will use so I came up with Loxion Spharaphara and they loved it,” said Mamfengu who is one of the group members. Mamfengu said they (him and the group) were motivated by listening to popular hip hop musicians and they decided that they can also do what those artists do and that’s when they came together and come up with the group.



They have three albums named: Friday the 13th they released in 2009, Boom vibe they released in 2014 and Senza kanje the released in 2015. “I used to dance and that made me come home at night so I decided to follow music and up to date I am doing music,” Mamfengu said. He also said that they always see artist from the West Rand appear on television but now they want to change that because they also want the cameras to look at the East Rand so people can see that there is talent as well on that side of Johannesburg. Mamfengu said they want to be on television as well and they want to help other people around the township by also lifting them up so that their talent can be seen.

"I assure you that you won’t regret listening to our music, it is unique from other people’s music and there is a message in every song that is featured in all our albums"



Mamfengu also said that they want to thank everyone who is supporting their group by listening to their music. “I assure you that you won’t regret listening to our music, it is unique from other people’s music and there is a message in every song that is featured in all our albums." Thuso Moagi, a supporter of Loxion Spharaphara music said he always listen to their music and its good and he advice everyone to listen to this music because it is not just music but there is a message that is being conveyed in all their song. “Their music inspire us as young people from the community because they sing about things we experience in our everyday life,” said Moagi.
