8 Years ago, you would have walked into a Room and shout out Roberto and people would have looked at you wondering why you are screaming out someone’s name.

After the arrival of Roberto’s 2nd album the world got a taste of Zambia’s crooner melodies and Radio stations from UK, USA, AUSTRALIA, ZIMBABAWE, BOTSWANA, ANGOLA, all opened up their microphones and could not resist playing Roberto Music.
