"The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" finishes up its season on HBO this weekend. It's based on the mystery novel series by Alexander McCall Smith. Botswana music producer Solo B. tells Studio 360's Rob Weisberg about the musicians on the soundtrack. He says "No. 1 Ladies" is a big opportunity for Botswana artists to break out of the shadow of South Africa.

Good story, especially the music part. Maybe I'll read or watch "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" now, whereas I might not have before because I thought it was a lot of hype.
Thanks
