ZIMBABWE – HARARE – The secret is out! One of the most talented artistes in the Urban Grooves genre Rockford “Roki” Josphats broke up with his wife Pauline not because he did not love her but because she was “too much” of an independent woman, it has emerged.
Roki and Pauline have a child together they named Sky.
Q: Why did you dump Pauline?
“First things first. People should know that Pauline is my first love. We broke up because Pauline and I can’t just be together. We are like terms and like terms repel, they do not attract, both of us are musicians. We perform at shows and some finish late. I wouldn’t want that for a wife. I love and respect Pauline because she is a strong, independent and beautiful woman” .
Q: Why do you dress like a girl?
Roki: I was born in a family with girls only. If my style is a bit feminine it is because of my upbringing. I don’t think I dress like a girl but I think girls are pretty and so am I.
Q: On the song Chidzoka were you singing for your Ex wife Pauline to come back?
Roki: I was not singing for Pauline. I worked on that album way before we had broken up. The media blew my relationship with Pauline out of proportion. Pauline and I love each other. In as much as I am a public figure, the Press, the world and my relatives need to stay the hell out of my life as well as Pauline’s.
That is my private life, People should stop giving advice because they don’t know what really happened. Pauline and me talk all the time and we have never stopped talking. I helped her produce some of her songs and we have worked together on some of Mafriq’s songs.
Q: Could you please comment on the ’Dark Side’ of urban grooves that is shown when your and others in the same field perform at shows. Do you live a wild and dirty life?
Roki: In this industry of entertainment a lot of what people see is make-believe. It is poli-tricks. At live shows topefomera vanhu vakadhakwa. They will be wild so we give them what they want. I am wild and it’s nice. What do you expect, I went to a boys’ school.
Q: Do urban groovers make money from sales (CD/tape)?
Roki: Some do. I sell some CDs at live shows, the distribution of urban grooves CDs is not organised and a worrying issue. The music is not accessible anywhere and that is why people turn to burning CDs which in turn disadvantages musicians. At the moment we are working on something to reduce the piracy.
Q: Who is your greatest musician in Zimbabwe and why?
Roki: Thomas Mapfumo. No doubt the man is the best in this country because he is a revolutionary musician. His music has the power to change the way people think and that is real music.
Q: Who is your greatest international musician and why?
Roki: Michael Jackson because he is the greatest musician of our time. zimGossip.com.
