Setson The Mighty Dread

Set-son Wahengo is the founder, leader, composer, rhythm guitarist and lead singer of The Mighty Dreads, which was formed in 1993 and was then known as The Young Dread. At first they sang only Reggae music, but later found the richness of their traditional Oshiwambo music. Through research, Set-son created the genre called Shambo music, which is now very popular and is recognised at the Namibia Annual Music Awards, something that makes Set-son, the “Godfather of Shambo” very proud.

The Mighty Dreads perform regularly at national events and at their own events. Set-son also performed at the World Expo in Shanghai, China in 2010 and at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, Baltimore and New York in the USA in 2007. The band's last album was launched in May 2012. It is titled 'War Make No Peace'. The band is currently busy recording its fifth album due for release soon.
