Rhumba still alive and kicking

The man, who has been sitting at the top of this genre for years, Franco (Frank Lesokwane), will always prove to sceptics that people are still thirsty for good rhumba music. His performance at Horizon Deep Club in Mmankgodi on Friday night is a case in point. In an era where Borankana is already fighting for survival against other emerging genres like Hip-Hop, it was thrilling to see how Rhumba could send revellers into a frenzy.

Some staunch followers of this type of music have been arguing that it was no where near its end, noting that the influx of average hopefuls into the industry was the only problem as that has greatly compromised the quality and that those who were good still remain good ambassadors.
