Led by Manuel Losper, the band is known for their electrifying stage presence, soulful harmonies, and a musical repertoire that spans R&B, pop, rock, ballads, reggae, and South African classics. Whether performing timeless medleys, or original compositions, The Rockettz New Generation captivate audiences with their dynamic and heartfelt performances.
