Franco's 9th rumba album out today

The new album titled Baesekele, or bicycle, appears to have been inspired by, among others, the recent general elections, with two tracks in particular paying tribute to local politics. This is not surprising for someone who had been so busy in the run-up to the general election, at the behest of political parties, wooing potential voters at star rallies.

Franco admits that he performed at more than six political rallies ahead of the October 16 general election. But this is rhumba, or kwasa-kwasa, as many love to call it, and Franco in this interview, ahead of his tour of Namibia this weekend, promised that the latest offering would be a joy to kwasa-kwasa enthusiasts. He picked the song Botswana O Godile as something to look out for, especially after performing it recently, at Culture Spears' products launch at the Chez N temba Garden.
