Freshlyground is no
stranger to anyone that's a fan of South African music or soccer/football. I
first came to know their music during the 2010 World Cup in their collaborative
song with Shakira, 'Waka Waka' (Seriously, I still can't get enough of that
song. My boss even played it in my office when I got back from Sierra Leone
this summer).
Freshlyground has been producing hit albums over the last decade with
styles ranging from Kwassa-Kwassa, to jazz, to folk, to indie rock. Their band
is symbolic of the diversity of not only the Rainbow Nation, but Southern
Africa in general, with band members coming from across South Africa,
Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. According to their website, "Freshlyground have
become the musical voice of the nation's adolescent democracy. Featuring
members of different ethnicities from South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe
their diverse backgrounds have allowed them to weave a musical magic that is
highly infections and undeniably groovy". Too true.
Freshlyground released a new single, 'Take Me to the Dance', ahead
of their album set to debut October 22. Check it out!
Question: Hey all you South
Africans, who is the host of this show who dances at the end?!
