life is short everyone should enjoy and what better way than to do so through music? “This song is for the people, it’s a dance song which is all about having a good time. “The title of the song comes from the phrase, ‘Et Patati Et Patata’ which is an informal and kind of fun way of saying someone is running off at the mouth, in short-talking a lot. Manager at Passion Java record label who is also Passion Java’s lieutenant, Boss Lashan explained the meaning of the song and what it is all about, “Everyone has a collage of people they look up to and in my collage, he takes the most space,” said Roki. “It is an honour that I met and spent time with someone I see as a master and a father figure in the industry. “He is that one person who coloured the planet with his type of music. Thrilled by the multiple impacts made by the singer, Roki added that he was over-excited meeting and finally getting to work with his revered role model.

“In the 90s rumba music changed from Kwassa Kwassa to Sebene Ngwasuma and during that time, I listened to a lot of his songs which influenced me to make one of my greatest hits, Chidzoka,” said Roki.

“With all that I could gather, this man was greater than myself and having aspired to do so, to finally meet him was such a great honour, it meant the world to me. “As much as I had never met this man, I have always felt like a variant of Kofi Olomide, I saw a lot of myself in him. In a recent interview, Roki explained why he had chosen to do a collaboration with the legendary singer, Kofi, Roki, after a long break from the music scene was recently signed under Passion Java records, a deal that revolt and breathed new life into his dormant career. Zimbabwean music star, Rockford Josphats better known by his stage name, Roki, has collaborated with other African stars Koffi Olomide and Rayvannny for the release of his long awaited song titled, “Patati Patata”.
