Rick Ricky’s wife Bianca Naidoo keeps his spirit alive

RIKY Rick’s wife Bianca Naidoo has kept her promise to keep her late husband’s legacy alive.

Riky’s popular two-day festival, Cotton Fest, is still going to take place.

In a statement, Bianca said she had decided to go ahead with the festival, that was postponed to next month, to keep Riky’s spirit alive.

“We have to continue to keep his spirit and legacy alive. What better way to do this than to continue the work Riky has already started? Cotton Fest needs to go ahead as planned by him! His love and belief in showcasing young and up-and-coming talent is unquestionable, which is how Cotton Fest came about a few years ago,” she said.

“And in his own words – we never die, we multiply! Let’s build on this energy and continue to spread the love and light at a time when we need it the most.”

Known for showcasing the diversities in various music genres with the aim of fusing the gaps within different local movements, Riky created the festival to merge both well-known and young emerging artists.

Cotton Fest will now take place on 23 and 24 April in Newtown, Joburg.

Concluding the statement, Bianca apologised for any inconvenience caused to current ticket holders who might not be able to attend on the new dates.
