After going through a few setbacks in the past, the Francistown based group has finally managed to record and release it’s second single thanks to support from experienced and Kwasa Kwasa star, Morefire Balobi.<\/p>\n

According to the group\u2019s founding member and leader, Wabuya Boitshepo otherwise known as Spekere in the music industry, the group intends to make up for lost time by bringing a unique taste of the kwasa kwasa genre on the local scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur first single called Kgaitsadi Thando did not do well in the market. We didn\u2019t give up. I thought let us come up with something unique that will catapult us to the top, and thanks to Morefire, we have released our second single,\u201d\u00a0Boitshepo said.<\/p>\n

Boitshepo also said the group is already working on an album, which it plans to release in April 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already ahead in terms of our first album, which will be released in April 2021,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that his dream has always been to be a big Kwas kwasa superstar and now he is happy that the dream seems to be falling into place and becoming a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to reach the levels reached by household names in the Kwasa Kwasa genre music such as Morefire, Alfredo Mos and Franco just to name but a few,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said their plan is to use this pandemic period to work on new music, so that they are ready once government opens the industry for festivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
