Heard they are to be at the Austin Reggae Fest April 20-22, 2012. Trying to locate their music online...have learned they are TIDAL WAVES, not Tidal Wave. And, these guys are not NZ Kiwi, but South African.
The whole band, including the lead singer, are from Klerksdorp, a small mining town in South Africa, not far from Joburg. I love these guys, saw them many years ago at a small reggae bar in Pretoria where I used to hang. Original music for Original People.
ye i think the singer is from Botswana but dont quote me on that one lol just going off what the guy who gave me the song told me. He's from Bots aswell :)
Seems like no one knows the mysterious name of the Botswanan Singer. Have you heard it get airplay back on iwi radio?? It is a cracking tune. very addictive listening. Have you had any success finding the artist?
No I havnt heard it on iwi radio im in australia but I can imagin everybody loves it as much as I did when I first heard it :) unfortunatly I have had no luck finding out who the singer is yet. But I will keep asking around.
Hard to find good videos of these guys on the tube, so it might be that were not talking about the same band :/ but if we are, then the lead singer's name is Jacob "Zakes" Wulana
