Ropeadope's CEO Louis Marks on Kofifi FM 97.2

Loading player...
CEO Louis Marks began his career in a family owned business, gaining time, friends, and experience from the warehouse floor to the New York Stock Exchange.

It was in 2005, at perhaps the lowest point in the recorded music business, Marks purchased Ropeadope and began a new phase.

Ropeadope has released over 600 albums during this time - a curated collection of music that reflects the true value of contemporary music and art.

This Sunday, Louis Marks tells the story of Ropeadope, and we also take a walk through the musical corridors of this exciting label.

We also share the brand new single from Mbuso Khoza, which comes out in November 2023.
