In previous blogs, we focus on some rock bands, now let’s try something new. Freshlyground, a band from South Africa, may be not that familiar to you. However, they are the most popular band in their hometown like super heroes.
Freshlyground's music style blends elements of traditional South African folk music, blues, jazz, and features of indie rock. Thus, they are actually a world band appeal to audience from Europe, Asia, America instead of a local one.
Another interesting thing is about their instruments. They play instruments that not only common ones like guitar, bass, keyboards, drums but also flute, violin, mbira, harmonica, traditional African instruments and some not widely used in bands.
As I said previously, their music style plus their unique instruments creates fantastic music. By the way, the lead vocal’s sound is so pure and cute that makes people unforgettable. Relaxation, cool, pure that is the feeling I get in their music.
It is time for music now-- one of my favorites.With soft voice and deep fascination, the sound is always lingering in your heart.
