This past weekend saw the annual music and culture festival, Cotton Fest return after a two-year hiatus, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and also the first without its founder Riky Rick.
The two-day event saw a star-studded line-up of SA’s finest musicians.
Apart from the performances, Cotton Fest saw a touching tribute to the late Riky Rick from his brother Themba, who hopped on stage and emulated him in performance.
Lady Du, who also performed at the festival, wrote a touching letter to Riky Rick on social media. Firstly, she thanked Riky Rick for touching her with his spirit as she was nervous before her performance.
“Hey bro I’m writing to personally thank you, I felt your energy last night, I felt your spirit touch me. I was nervous thinking I don’t want to disappoint you but I knew your spirit would come ALIVE last night!!!!!”
The musician also thanked the Cotton Fest team before giving her an opportunity to perform. “I even cried after my performance. I love and appreciate every single person that was there y’all literally sang all my songs it was really touching,” she added.
