Now, I am really sure that I am on a music roll…. Dave Lucas just called my attention to South Africa’s Freshlyground. Their music is a beatiful mixture of African pop, folk, Jazz…. Actually, you need to sample their music to see the fields they traverse. The ease with which they move between a smooth sounding pop, a bluesy jazz and a deep and involed soulful sound is sure going to make sure they remain popular with music lovers…. Here is their website, and here is Dave Lucas’ post on them. Thanks Dave.

Hi there – happy that you write about music regularly – please do continue with this habit – I’d happy to read more about the music you find interesting. I wrote about Freshlyground here : http://szavannablog.wordpress.com/2007/04/23/freshlyground-afro-fusion-sounds-born-in-a-bar-in-observatory/
You will find 3 videos there – two songs and an intro to the band members.
I am sending you the interview questions this week. Izz is saying – it is important to ask the right questions – and he is totally right – so I take my time 🙂
