Fresh Les' latest album is a tribute to the best of what the Ramotswa native has offered to the local music industry throughout his early 2000s music career, mixed together his latest release from this year's album titled ‘Ware Kereng’ as evidence that Rhumba is not dead.

In spite of the unending dominance of Amapiano in both the local and southern African music industry, Lesokwane is confident in his latest album becoming proof of life to the local genre and bringing forth a Rhumba renaissance.

Fresh Les & Mosako Stars will perform alongside Franco & Afro Musica, Jeff Matheatau, Alfredo Moss & Les Africa Sounds, Dikakapa, Skelem Key, DJ Fondo Fire and many more.

They are set to spark a fresh breath of air into a deeply beloved genre of music. The performances will take place at Fora Farm in Kumakwane from noon until 6am the next morning in a catered venue with food and drinks available for purchase to all attendees. “We’re looking to make history and become big not only here but in Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and even overseas like the UK,” Lesokwane ambitiously stated.

The artist aims to see his performances kick off bigger and better than ever before, with his show on Fora Farm being the mere genesis of a revived career in the music industry. Following his performance in Kumakwane, Lesokwane has scheduled further shows in Hukuntsi, Gantsi, and Maun later this year as the kickstarter to his newfound ambition to revive Rhumba.
