Lesotho is a Southern African nation surrounded entirely by South Africa. The largest ethnic group is the Basotha. Traditional musical instruments include lekolulo, a kind of flute played by herding boys, setolo-tolo, played by men using their mouth, and the women's stringed thomo.

The national anthem of Lesotho is "Lesotho Fatse La Bontata Rona".

The Morija Arts & Cultural Festival is a prominent Sotho music festival.
