"Tsamaya Moratuoa" is a 1980 album by the Mahotella Queens. The album was one of the first to feature a more modern form of mbaqanga, implementing a 1980s drum backing with solid drumsticks (and not with brushes, as had been the case in the '60s and part of the '70s). The album featured songs such as "Tsamaya Moratuoa", "Mpulele", "Re Basadi Kaofela" and the Sotho-traditional hymn "Seteng Sediba" (which was covered by the Soweto Gospel Choir in 2006).
