From trumpeting These Streets to Horns in the Sun: Mi Casa's Mo-T's everlasting hits
Moshe 'Mo-T' Kgasoane is the renowned trumpeter from Mi Casa. His solo career boasts hits like Don't Let Go and Horns in the Sun. Mo-T's trumpeting background began with his father and grandfather. He's responsible for some of the most recognisable trumpeting in South Africa's hit tracks. Moshe Kgasoane, more popularly known as Mo-T, has added a modern and unique flair to an instrument whose reputation struggled to exceed marching band status. Mo-T has not only found fame as one third of the renowned musical trio Mi Casa creating hits like These Streets, Jika and more for the better part of 15 years. He's also added his own signature sound to chart-topping tracks like DJ Kent's Don't Let Go, Mr Eazi's Property and more that have personified Mzansi's festive spirit across generations. Even when covering classic tracks like Bongo Maffin's Thathisigubhu, Mo-T's trumpeting skills are a sight to behold and a treat to the ears. The blaring horn from South Africa's greatest hits After delivering a sensational instrumental performance at Steenberg 's exclusive launch of their new wine labels in Johannesburg, the musician let TRUELOVE in on how he has been able to grow his artist wings as an individual artist while also staying true to the trio. 'People have been waiting for us to break up, but it's not happening anytime soon. Hopefully, praise God it doesn't happen ever. But I mean, I feel everyone's got a way of expressing themselves of the individuality or them feeling that, look, this is something special that I want to release by myself,' he says. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mi Casa (@micasamusic) One solo track that took over radio waves across the country was when Mo-T featured on DJ Kent's Horns in the Sun, which has been played everywhere from home soil to Europe and New Year's parties in the U.S. He tells us how those recognisable rhythms come to him. 'It's the mood, it's where the song is also going and it's really on how, yes, that mood has also got to do with how I'm feeling at that time, and I always push myself to being in a good space when I go to studio. Even if I'm in a very bad space or anything but I always push myself to really playing what suits that certain track' he explains. Mo-T continues, 'I've really enjoyed recording even with those artists like working with Mr. Eazi was magical, it was beautiful. Working with Kent, well DJ Kent on Don't Let Go [is] still a classic to us, it's an old song but people still love it.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mo-T (@mot_micasa) A trumpeting lineage With Mo-T's father as the late Mango Groove founding member and lead trumpeter Banza Kgasoanse and his grandfather also a famed saxophonist in the Big Henny's Band, it's clear that trumpeting is in Mo-T's blood. He shares how his father and grandfather passed down his musical gift and retaining his individuality in a successful group. '[Trumpeting] really holds a special place in my heart for seeing where it's come from. Where it didn't start with me, but it started with my grandfather, then it got passed on to my dad, and then it got passed on to me. We've all done well within the musical segments that we have established ourselves into.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mo-T (@mot_micasa) Mo-T adds, 'Me going to or me being a part of Mi Casa has also been something great but it's also nice that when you live that freedom by saying that we're not tying each other down, but we're obviously saying, yes, you're part of a group, but you're also able to spread your wings and actually just work with other people and see what happens.'
