The Lesokwanes take rhumba music scene by storm

It has been seven years since Frank Lesokwane surrendered his gun and pair of boots and picked up his guitar to make music for the nation. He is now a famed rumba artiste known as Franco.

Franco was later joined by cousin Fresh Lesokwane, though as a competitor. But he would not be the last from the Lesokwane family in Gabane to venture into  rumba  music.

As he worked on his seventh album, Franco decided to rope in his nephew Innocent "Bokhina" Lesokwane. And if first impressions are anything to go by, then the youngster  is also on the way to the top. His uncle has already tipped him to become a star and even surpass his own (Franco) success. Bokhina stole the limelight from his uncle during the launch of Sepekere, Franco's latest  project. The fans, who thronged Chez Ntemba  for the launch, seemed to enjoy it most every time the youngster took his mike. They even suggested a competition pitting uncle against nephew and the older Lesokwane  was voted out. He has good voice, but above all his big smile makes him a favourite with the fans, especially women.
