Watch! Focalistic’s Groundbreaking Performance In London Makes UK Crowd Dance. Lethabo Sebetso, professionally known as FOCALISTIC and fondly referred to as the Pitori Maradona, is a South African recording artist and entertainer. Focalistic’s raps are in Sepitori—a vernacular spoken in Pretoria townships made up of a variety of South African languages, mostly Sesotho, Setswana and tsotsitaal (slang). The star has remained consistent in introducing the amapiano sound to a wider audience.

Focalistic has just performed in London for the first time, and to his surprise, the amapiano movement is s huge that even the crowd in UK was vibing to his amapiano hits. The star’s groundbreaking performance is something that the whole whole country is proud of. He said history was made, “First Time in London. Africa to the world! Amapiano to the world! ASE TRAP TSE KE PINA TSA KO KASI @davido Champion Sound Loading.”

To Focalistic, the movement isn’t just about music. He feels like music, which is central to the movement promotes all the previously under-celebrated aspects of African culture. “A lot of this has to do with how we’ve honestly accepted ourselves as Africans. Now, America is looking to us for inspiration. In South Africa, there was a time when we’d go, ‘Oh sh*t, that’s a Nigerian.’ Now, everybody wants to be Nigerian because of the music,” he says.

“Governments need to start looking into the power and influence of pop culture and music. We learn a lot from music and music videos. They drive desirability and that’s been aided by the internet. You look at music and you want to be Davido, Burna or Wizkid. You look at Amapiano and you want to dance like a South African. “We’re prouder of being African right now.”
