Information and videos of South African band Freshlyground
Freshlyground is a South African Afro-Fusion band that was formed in Cape Town in 2002. The band members hail 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 whose distinctive voice contributes much to the band's unique sound.
In 2005, Freshlyground was nominated for three awards at the
South African Music
Awards. However, they failed to win any of these titles, losing out to other popular
artists such as Zola and Simphiwe Dana.
MTV Europe Music Awards Freshlyground has been awarded
'Best African Act' on 2 November
2006 at the annual MTV Europe Music Awards, which were held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This made them the first South African musical act to ever be awarded an MTV award.
