艺人介绍

Freshlyground乐队由来自南非的七位不同领域的音乐人才创立。2003年Freshlyground开始他们的首张专辑，发行于他们自己的Freeground唱片厂牌。这张唱片让他们牢牢占据南非最好的年轻乐队之一的地位，这也是最大的成功。Freshlyground 在2004年7月发行了他们的第二张录音室专辑Nomvula，这这张专辑引起了非洲Sony BMG的兴趣，公司最后与乐队签约，并在当年9月发行了Nomvula。专辑在南非达到了30万张的销量。

2006年11月，Freshlyground赢得了MTV欧洲大奖非洲最佳表演类别奖。这个奖项确定了乐队在国际音乐地图上的地位，并且使他们在未来也成为了南非文化向外展示的标签之一。

Born in 2002 out of the cultural hotbed that is Cape Town South Africa, Freshlyground have become the musical voice of a nation’s adolescent democracy. Featuring members of different ethnicities from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe their diverse backgrounds have allowed them to weave a musical magic that is highly infectious and undeniably groovy.

Beginning with the release of Jika Jika in 2003 Freshlyground have carved out a massive following both in South Africa and around the world. Their music - a fusion of rock, jazz and Afro-pop – has proven time and time again to be a favourite amongst all audiences from young children to their grandparents. The skill and joy with which it is delivered have made them perpetual crossover favourites.

Nomvula, their multi-platinum 2004 release, broke new ground for South African pop acts. Its first single - Doo Be Doo - was the most played song in South Africa in 2005. With four hit singles following it, Nomvula propelled the band to heights few reach. It has taken them to stages and festivals around Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. With 2007’s Ma Cheri the band cemented their status as one of the finest acts to have ever come out of Southern Africa. They have won numerous awards including 4 South African Music Awards, 4 Metro FM Awards and an MTV Europe Music Award for "Best African Act" -a first for any SA musician.

Freshlyground have not forgotten their roots in the gritty reality of Sub-Saharan Africa where so many suffer. They have been supporters of the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation since playing a fund raising concert for the Foundation in 2005.

Freshlyground are currently working on their fourth studio album, due for release in South Africa in May 2010. During the course of the year they will be touring extensively throughout South Africa as well as Europe, the US and Asia. Expect “the most important South African act of the 21st century” to continue winning the hearts of fans and packing venues all over the world.
