For that reason, Mosaka expects American patrons to be drawn to their version because local and American rock music differs.<\/p>\n<p>In his view, the only similarities are that metal bands hold a mirror right back on society and listeners are responsive to the raw human emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Old African beliefs<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cOurs is characterised by incorporation of African beats, which we mix with classic and modern rock beats to complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the case of our band, Overthrust, we talk about old African beliefs and what people used to think of myths such as the existence of ghosts and witchcraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the US, bands are into extreme entertainment and fiction inspired by deep thought, sci fi and horror. Their music is more sophisticated because of use of powerful equipment and availability of musical resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch rock music bands live<\/p>\n<p>While in America, Mosaka will also explore some tourist attraction sites in Florida, among them the Cape Canaveral Launch Complex (NASA), the famous Miami beaches, the film and music industries, as well as watch some legendary rock music bands live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will definitely gain huge experience in music, promotions, event organising and band management skills that I will share with local and regional artists back here at home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
