Stu Lasern in Botswana a dream gig for OneSpared

He decides to come and do a show with you!” Thuso Keabetswe Eric Molefe, a 26-year-old musician aka OneSpared, tried to rhetorically contextualise the message for those who could not relate.

He was describing his dream gig with Stu Larsen on Tuesday at The No. 1 Ladies Coffee House in Gaborone. Stu Larsen, an Australian singer, decided to add Gaborone on his epic world tour called Hurricane Tour that is to 11 shows in 11 countries in a month. For Stu Larsen to choose Botswana on his first time in Africa was all because of OneSpared. Three years ago the young man from Mochudi did a cover for Stu Larsen’s hit song titled San Francisco and was posted online. With the magic of the Internet, the cover song by OneSpared eventually reached Stu and he made contact with this young Motswana singing his song so well. Stu Larsen admits that he was charmed to find out that “someone in Africa, in Botswana, knows my music and is singing my song”.  And so when he decided to make a first trip to Africa he chose Botswana because of OneSpared.
