Mathosa, Lebo

Mathosa, Lebo
▪ 2007

      South African singer (b. July 16, 1977, Daveyton township, near Johannesburg, S.Af.—d. Oct. 23, 2006, near Johannesburg), blended traditional music with non-African influences (including rhythm and blues, rap, conga, and disco) to create her own brand of kwaito dance music. With her dyed blond hair, flamboyant clothes, and provocative singing style, Mathosa was a dynamic member of the 1990s group Boom Shaka. She released her debut solo album, Dream, in 2000, and her second, Drama Queen (2004), was named best dance album at the 2005 South African Music Awards. Mathosa, who was preparing to release her fourth album, was killed in a car accident.
