After recently announcing his imminent return to Rhumba music, musician Phemelo Lesokwane, popularly known as ‘Fresh Les’, is bringing back the classics with his new nostalgic throwback album, 'The Return of Fresh Les' when it launches alongside a live band at Kumakwane on September 24.

Fresh Les' latest album is a tribute to the best of what the Ramotswa native has offered to the local music industry throughout his early 2000s music career, mixed together his latest release from this year's album titled ‘Ware Kereng’ as evidence that Rhumba is not dead.

In spite of the unending dominance of Amapiano in both the local and southern African music industry, Lesokwane is confident in his latest album becoming proof of life to the local genre and bringing forth a Rhumba renaissance.
