Thanks for the great music Freshlyground! I'm posting your vids on Facebook so all my friends can know who you guys are. Hopefully by next year, you guys will be a hit here in Canada and can come tour. It seems its been a while since there has been a band with its own original signature like Freshlyground. Keep it up Guys!
The nomvula song has to be my favorite, It really stirs my insides! Wish I spoke the language! :) Great compo.

Love you guys!

I sleep with my radio on and at 4 am I woke up listening to Zolani being interviewed about your song pot belly.
I was taken with Zolani's voice as she was being interviewed by the BBC and when I heard the song I was hooked, its such an honest basic song that gets me where it matters. Right there in my soul, which is where music should be felt.
Not bad considering Im an English white male :P


Youre style reminds me of Katie Melua and also Koko Kaina

Bless you all for touching my soul
