After releasing hit after hit and amassing over 200 million views across his streaming platforms, Botswana’s sensation, Esere Diloro, popularly known as Ezra Neethings, is finally ready to bring fans closer with an intimate solo live concert at the UB Indoor Sports Centre on April 18. 
For the Merwalela hitmaker, the live show, dubbed Big Things You Go Do In My Life, a lyric drawn from his 2022 bop Danko, reflects his musical journey, which began modestly with gospel releases before his breakthrough single Danko propelled him into the national spotlight after garnering millions of streams.
Ezra’s latest release, Tsela Ye, debuted at number one on Apple Music on January 15 and has since maintained its position at the top. The song has also attracted hundreds of thousands of views across platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, has been used in over 300 TikTok videos and has even featured in social media content by the Minister of Youth and Gender Affairs, Lesego Chombo, a clear indicator of its growing popularity.
Like many of Ezra’s releases, Tsela Ye further cements him as an artiste whose strength lies in lyrical storytelling rooted in his mother tongue, bringing everyday experiences, ranging from romance and family to spirituality, to life through heartfelt music.
These qualities have made him a deeply relatable artiste to audiences in Botswana and beyond.
Through the upcoming live concert, Ezra hopes to connect with fans in a different way, offering up-close interactions and extended live renditions of their favourite songs, allowing audiences to more deeply appreciate the artistry behind his music.
Although memories of a similar project that failed shortly after the release of Danko remain unpleasant, the award-winning singer says there is no turning back, adding that the risk is worth taking after an otherwise decorated musical journey.
Fans can expect performances of songs such as Merwalela, Mpolelele, and Tsela Ye, alongside lesser-known tracks.
The show is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm and is expected to run for approximately five hours.
“You never really know where the evening may take us with a live performance,” Ezra said.
“Unlike studio tracks, live renditions do not have fixed timings. I want to take the audience through every phase of the music and let the experience unfold naturally,” he added. ENDS
