Freshlyground Live - Ma'Cheri

[RWY32L]

I loved their music since first album.. their live performance is amazing!

[himynameisel182]

wow..!! what a band..!! You can tell the lead guitarist is either Zimbabwean/Mozambican. Sick stuff..!!

[kevipants]

I really hope they make it to the States at some point. Would love to see them live.

[toddcharry]

Another fantastic tune. Hard to pick one favorite song by this band, they are all great. Best of luck, from TC in the USA.

[corrompe]

En que idioma esta esta canción?

[anne241163]

@corrompe es xhosa

[BMKme]

3 people have no soul.



[athenalibra22]

it's AMAZAAA!!

[cjsimpao37]

i cant understand but you guys.... rock........

[yulifull]

Music at the word....nice music :) :)

[RioichiX]

AMAZE.

[koolndeadly]

@krya505. Freshly Ground on stage, without Shakira crowding it up, would've provided the ultimate representation of a world coming together. Why? It's already in the music...it's already in the band DNA. If the idea was to show how we bring ideas and people together in Africa then it's a no brainer - Freshly Ground! But we all know how it is...there's corps , govts & a bunch of stiffs making the calls and so we end up with "Shakira featuring Freshly Ground" What a piece of oppression!!

[Soffigof]

I really love this song, but I have no idea of what it's about. Anyone care to explain? I mean what does Ma´Cheri means? ;)

[anne241163]

@Soffigof It's French, ma cherie amor means my dear love.

[Soffigof]

@anne241163 Ahh okay tak :). Så du var fra Norge, så tillod mig lige at skrive på modersmål :)

[TheDiomio]

@Soffigof It means "my love" or "my darling" in French.

[MrKekza]

great, makes me really proud to say i'm South African!!!

[dico1970ricardo]

very good! want you to come in Brazil! congratulations on the show!

[HPMKnudsen]

Hey where can i get the live DVD, recorded at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg with Freshlyground ?

[bandacc]

Good to see black and white people come together as one unit. Amen

[0selam]

love the band ! I wish you did more African sounds and dances:-D

[Ceja8460]

Well... Whether Shakira was the "show" of the video or not, they were awesome!! I like soccer and I like Shakira, so I was immediately interested in listening to the song. If it wasn't for the song/video PERIOD, I wouldn't now be a HUGE fan of Freshlyground. So I'm just glad that SOMEBODY not only did it, but they did it WELL!!

[MultiSaraC]

The group is great. But you ladies!!! Oh man, you make me proud to be an African woman!

[harkeb]

she's so cute! Love her to bits. thanks Feshly Ground for great music.

[brendanmaz]

Amazing stuff, i think they benefited from working with shakira, it gave them international exposure

[chandy64]

Totally WOW!. They so represent my hope for South Africa and our world. Goooooo, young people!. BEAUTIFUL!

[hl77359]

jirre, ma sy gooi dit! kaalvoet nogals!

[Ann4lyfe]

Loved and enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing it. Would never have known them if it wasn't for the waka waka video. Thank you.

[askido351]

Yes true, Shakira gave this group exposure but WOW, what a group. Beautiful fusion of world musical styles.

This group is great! They should have sung for world cup. They contributed a lot to the Waka Waka song.

The most prestigeous festival on the planet !

Welcome to Quebec - Canada !!!!! You're all invited !!!

You are so right ! Thet should've been the only ones on stage for the World Cup's opening concert and for the video.

[rachela18]

[p00ki3luv09]

what language is this??

[jackkemel]

@p00ki3luv09 indonesian

[chyvonneza]

@jackkemel It's not Indonesian....it's zulu from South Africa

[raymondgodwin]

@jackkemel i am indonesian.. what do you mean with sarcasm? i don't get it

[jackkemel]

@raymondgodwin nevermind, I just picked a random country,it had nothing to do with indonesia

[raymondgodwin]

@jackkemel owh.. alrite then :) thanks

[Modipadi100]

@p00ki3luv09 It's Xhosa. One of the 11 oficial languages spoken in South Africa. Its also Nelson Mandela's native tongue.

[damnfoolstoday]

amazing! africa fasinates me now (:!

[lamla100]

the song of the year

[galianociti1]

real smooth music

[waterbitten]

saaka ngwana saaka,.ooh this song is jusst awsomenesss...

[originalfenix86]

wow you guys rock. pleas do more pr here in america!

[Katebebe1]

Melody from ebony and ivory keys on one piano! Simply wonderful!

[shawnagay]

simply AMAZING, why they didnt allow you guys to do the world up song alone???  Shakira is not South African, sell out fifa SHAME!!!!

You guys should have starred that song! you guys are the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it should have been Freshlyground ft. Shakira.

Much love all the way from Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[krya505]

@shawnagay It's called World Cup for a reason...............Not South Africa Cup. It's to bring the world together we already have enough segregation in this world as it is. So let the collaborations continue.....................B­ut yes I do agree they are an amazing group!

[shawnagay]

@krya505 I see your point but that was the world cup song, the last cricket world cup song was done by Caribbean singers because it was in the Caribbean yet it was a world cup event. I just think it could be the other way around, promoting Africa more, what more exposure does Shakira needs? You tell me

[TheRichyRichShow]

@krya505 Your right and besides none of the members are south African.They all met in South Africa.

[buttironiml]

@shawnagay I adore freshlyground, but let s be fair, if it wasn t for shakira they wouldn't be worldwide known....

[shawnagay]

@buttironiml true, but unfortunate, they should have been the artiste of world cup, not shakira. end of!

[justajumpingypsygirl]

@shawnagay Columbia.  And Shakira applied with that song to perform.

[FatHoElderlyCenter]

Stop hating Shakisha. She was South African for a day that day. But I do agree they are a great group.

[TheNefertitibrown]

@shawnagay because Shakira's name on the song made it more popular. We didn't know who Freshly Ground was previously, but now that Shakira a big name brought them out...THEY HAVE INTERNATIONAL FANS.!!! I love them!

[schelzo201]

I like this group. I met by the song of the world cup and i love they

[HardworkPatience84]

much much LOVE! from the Philippines...

I will post comments more when i got your album guys! GREAT JOB!!!

[dreadawn]

thank goodness for the world cup! even if i'm not into football, it brought to my attention this amazing band!

[Vicente2782]

ah yeah have to add the voice of the lead singer is so damn unique. just amazing love it and shes pretty cool :D

[Vicente2782]

although they were touring worldwide before waka waka, i think that their decision to do the song with shakira was the best decision ever for them. now everyone knows their great music !!! :)

[corlin12]

ang cute habang nasa 7min. na ang cute talaga...

[spookyalien11]

I agree with pammiere, we love this music in germany too

[corlin12]

@spookyalien11 i'm in philippines, but i love this so much, although its so different language but i fell joyful if i do hear the lovely music...

[spookyalien11]

@corlin12 greetz to philippines... the language sounds a little bit funny with it`s click tones in it but I love to hear it. This Band is amazing!

[wyrmqueen]

<3 Simon, sexiest white boy from Zimbabwe

[15Chocolaties]

[hoberha]

You have to see them on stage -- if you see them, hear them and feel the sound you know that Africa is much stronger that all those development NGOs want us to believe!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DallasGadgetGuy]

fantastic. I don't know how many times I've watched this video.

[mokhatt]

One of the good things about being away from home (SA) is you get to appreciate the good things that makes you -uniquely- South African. In the few months I've been out of SA I've listened to SA music more than ever before.

Proudly South African!

[EyeGodZA]

Xhosa.

[anne241163]

I love that clicking sound she makes, what is it zulu og xhosa ??? Forgive me for not knowing, I'm Norwegian!

[ghettosupastar001]

it's xhosa. Norweigan hey, how'd u come across freshly ground, if you don't mind me asking.

[anne241163]

I've got a friend who moved down there, she recommended a few groups. I like to listen to music from different countries,check out my favourites!
