I witnessed first hand Freshlyground’s metamorphosis from a small time group that played in smoky hangout spots in and around Cape Town to a multi-platinum, award-winning, Europe touring ensemble, and I must say that it is nothing short of incredible.
It’s been 3 years since the group released Nomvula, an album that scanned more than 250 000 copies; they have decided to follow that up with a potentially equally explosive curiously titled Ma’Cheri.
Lead singer Zolani Mahola says that the album is an apt reflection of the creative life of Freshlyground. “We are a group of individuals who are interested in
a range of musical styles and the record is a reflection of this schizophrenic musical sensibility or non-sensibility as the case may be,” she says.
The album’s lead single “Pot Belly” is classic Freshlyground – heart-warming, and catchy. If the way the radio and fans have received is anything to go by, then Ma’Cheri will surely be one of the biggest sellers this coming summer.
