FRESHLYGROUND - Doo Be Doo (Nomvula Album)
Loading...
Uploaded by bingodelmar on Sep 27, 2009
FRESHLYGROUND is a South African Afro-fusion Band that was formed in Cape Town in 2002. The band members are from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Stylistically, Freshlyground incorporates elements of traditional South African music (such as kwela and African folk), blues and jazz, as well as features of indie rock. The lead singer is Zolani Mahola, she sings in Xhosa and English words, whose distinctive voice contributes much to the bands unique sound.
Nomvula, an Xhosa word that means "after the rain", blends African roots with irresistibly catchy pop melodies. And Zolani Maholas swooping vocals makes their African-rooted pop universal.
Out of the terrible dark days of apartheid has come music that celebrates life and the strong human spirit. This band would have been absolutely impossible ten or fifteen years ago. It was illegal for black and white people to engage in almost any enterprise together under the former cruel regime in South Africa's government. Freshlyground's music effortlessly crosses many borders - musical, social and geographical.

@futboleroR10 Same here... I loved the small part she had in the Waka Waka song... Her voice is nice and clear, almost childish. Love it.
