Four-string guitarist Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Moipolai passed away this morning at his home village at Mmatseta after a long illness, the family has confirmed.
In 2015 Ronnie collaborated with English soul and R&B singer-songwriter and actress Joss Stone during her world tour on a song titled ‘Rain song’.
The video of the song was released last year with these words: “A happy time in Botswana was had back in 2015, It was great to meet up with Ronnie. It hadn't rained for 9 months and on that day we sang a song to make the rains come, ironically it started to trickle. A wonderful moment for everyone. It just goes to show what a little jam session can do with some positive thoughts. Thank you, Ronnie and his friends for your warm presence. We won't forget this precious time we had with you.”
