R & P to revive local RnB

Wednesday, November 05, 2014

Newly-formed RnB group R & P is working on a number of tracks as a way of reviving the once popular genre. The RnB group consists of musician Onkabetse ‘Phiri Jr II’ Kesetse and musician-cum-producer Ricardo ‘Ricky’ Marumo. The duo has already recorded a couple of tracks for their debut album that will be released early next year.

Phiri Jr II told Showbiz that after noticing that the RnB scene in the country is not up to standard, the duo decided to work together and resurrect the genre. “Our music industry has a few RnB artists and this has led to the general public forgetting about RnB,” said Phiri Jr II.

The artist mentioned that R & P is willing to face the challenge of venturing into RnB even though it is not as popular as it used to be in Botswana in the past.
