Afro Sunshine Music Is Back

Former Afro Sunshine keyboard player Lekofi Sejeso and group manager Dennis Alexander have reprinted a CD of the defunct band's album, This is Afrika. The reprinted version is already available on the local market.

This was one of the first albums by a local group to go on sale in Botswana.  During the 80s, Batswana were only exposed to recorded music by South African artistes.  It was very difficult for local artistes to record due to lack of financial resources and recording facilities.  By then recording facilities were only available in countries like South Africa and Zimbabwe. 

Afro Sunshine used to be one of the country's top Afro pop groups in the 80s.  They released their popular album in 1989 before the group disbanded following some misunderstandings.  Although it was released 20 years ago, the album has always been in demand.  This is what motivated Sejeso and Alexander to reprint it.
