Freshlyground - I’d Like | REACTION!!!

[@nemo-rsa]

Freshlyground embodies all that South Africa is, all that we are not and all that we want to be: diversity in synergy.

[@cwengamatshebe1232]

Wow well said ❤🇿🇦

[@LpatiePatiel]

Sa artist released timeless classics in that era

[@poisonapple4530]

"Diversity in synergy" is the best description there is of our country ❤

[@JayU10]

Love my country 🇿🇦❤

[@bigheartedbadguyy]

This song takes me back when life was still simple

[@jodi699]

Like Fr... I miss the simple life.

[@thabeloyanga]

Welcome to the life of grown-ups and paying bills.

[@lloydmore3053]

Eish..., you can say it again!🤞🏾🤗

[@arnoldmudekunye638]

And there was Parlotones on the TV

[@amyzaaiman7566]

'Doo Bee Doo' had South Africa in a chokehold in my early high school days.

[@nevfelix]

Anthem right there

[@luriescorner]

Fun fact, Zolani, the lead singer of the band was featured on Shakira's 2010 South African world cup song...Waka Waka

[@mollyvilakazi]

And she's also an actor.

[@siphosindi]

Yooooo I had forgotten about that 😅

[@Yutuub-n5j]

Was probably a songwriter coz shakira did not write that song.

[@kiblinflinn]

Xhosa vocalists are unmatched n each have their very unique voices n styles

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

Number 1 in Southern Africa. 70 percent off all south african songs played on radio in that era if Zahara and them, were artists from the Eastern Cape. That's too much. domination.

[@kiblinflinn]

@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq Miriam - Brenda - thandiswa - Zolani(freshly ground) - Zahara - Ami Faku just to name 1%

[@lelethufunani2782]

​@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lqI couldn't agree more😅

[@YETI_312]

Facts... so expansive and expressive

[@siyancede5241]

There’s just something about Xhosa people!!! From Brenda Fassie to Miriam Makeba(first African Grammy Winner) to Zahara. Whether it’s Music or Politics they just excel ❤❤🎉

[@TomiRmusic]

Also South African rock music around this era was so beautiful from the likes of Just Jinger, Parlotones, Zebra and Giraffe. 🔥

[@TheChaz789]

Zebra and Giraffe is still in my playlist tot vandag💯

[@LethaboLovesOra]

Parlotones❤️

[@TomiRmusic]

@@LethaboLovesOra The Best.

[@melaninsabre3798]

Not me bursting into tears as soon as she opened her mouth. 😢😅 What a way to be transported back to such a beautiful time. ❤🇿🇦

[@MrSindi]

Nomvula by Freshlyground 🔥

[@lungaswazi9194]

Hear me out

[@nontobekonxumalo338]

Listen 😭🙌🏽🔥

[@kagisonko3279]

iyoh

[@poppyjakavula3565]

WE are here brilliant South African

[@specialk1373]

I'd actually want her to also understand the lyrical content in Nomvula. 😭

[@profoundpro8879]

its a South African band, she's that lady who sings waka waka with Shakira for 2010 world cup. She has a amazing songs too, like Doo Bee Doo

[@96kilo]

South Africa has more talent than people can ever admit. The most diverse and beautiful country. To think that this song was made more than 10 years ago 😢❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@NomfundoBadaman]

10 is nothing ,probably 20

[@JohnDoeAKA101]

i was about 5 years when this song was playing everywhere, more than 10 years yess, something like 15+ years ago

[@Arti-iChi]

Now imagine Freshlyground performing at the Kistenbosch Bonatical Gardens in Cape Town on lush green grass set against Table Mountain with flora that can only be found in South Africa on a Summers Evening where the sun sets by 8.30pm and you surrounded by a diverse population of all races just as they are in their group... Mesmerizing... The UK group Soul II Soul will be performing at that venue in February

[@RooibaardBoerseun]

She is Zolani, the lead singer of Freshlyground a pan-African South African singing group. She is such a down to earth person with natural talented and true artistry that goes away beyond the singing.

[@mzozulu6866]

This is a south african classic! You could play this song for any crowd in any part of S.A and people will automatically sing along!❤

[@brianowies4417]

The genre is Afro-soul. It was a massive genre in South Africa in the mid-2000s to early 2010s. It's still around but not on on that level anymore.

[@markhenry3876]

I saw this band many times what a Party

Hello 🙂 I have never heard about her before, but I really like her voice. I liked this song in general. She has a very distinct voice, and I can hear a lot of LP in parts of her register. Gonna see if I can find something more from the band/her now. Take care! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@mzozulu6866]

They have an amazing discography in a bunch of different styles and languages. Try listening to Nomvula and Doo be doo.

[@poolhallshark]
