On the 8th of February 2015 Freshlyground got into the Cape Town vibe as they danced barefoot across the stage.
They like to keep things fresh with their refreshing humour and extravagant, yet authentic, performances.
With songs ranging from Love to Mugabe, the variety of their music and talent is as diverse as the flora in the Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden nestled at the bottom of Table Mountain.
One of the qualities that makes Freshlground successful is their ability to perform what it means to be a present-day South African. Their music is rooted in the challenges we currently face as a country and as individuals – politics, passions, and pasts.
Their focus is on the new democratic South Africa, rather than our problematic political past. Their music speaks to younger generations who are forging their own identity separate from that of previous generations.
Their image is as vibrant and chaotic as the everyday South African; uprooted from a troubled past that it cannot connect or relate to, yet rooted in the drifting between difference and unity.
