Immigrants add value to Botswana's fledgling music industry

Johwa, one of the most sought after local performers, is associated with; Ugandan Robert Dargie who kick-started his music career more than five years ago.

"Dargie did to local musicians what no local producer had achieved before. I am an example of his contribution to the growth of the local industry although some people would be slow to acknowledge that he helped them a lot', said the Ikalanga jazz legend. Johwa does not only pay tribute to Dargie. Ever since he started live performances after the hit album the Ugandan producer helped him cook, he has over the years swapped one set of Zimbabwean guitarists after the other.
