Due to the high-level preparations, the legendary musician has announced that this year's Soul Fill Up with Franco will be held on April 25 at Fora Farm in Kumakwane. Franco revealed in a brief interview that they started preparations early to ensure a successful event. The musician also said he plans to host an improved show, featuring some of the country's high-profile artists as well as upcoming ones.
'Preparations have already commenced for this year’s edition. We started early because we want to improve on many aspects. We will start announcing the lineup soon, with activations for the event already planned to create hype for the show,' Franco told Showtime.
Franco appealed for sponsorships and partnerships for the event. He further told Showtime that the event has been struggling to attract sponsors in the past two editions, something that has affected its growth. 'We are appealing for sponsorships or partners for this event to make it a success,' he said.
He explained that the event is strictly for local artists to empower and grow them. Franco promised his fans that he would make sure that they enjoy their time and performances. “I want my fans to come in numbers and have fun with us. I'm not only celebrating my achievements, but the journey we have traveled together for so many years since my first album, Ke lela le lona,” he added.
The event is meant to celebrate Franco’s musical journey, which spans over two decades. With about 20 albums under his belt, Franco is considered a legend in Botswana music. The musician has released several hits and has remained relevant since breaking away from Les Africa Sounds to form his band, Franco & Afro Musica.
