Zebraman showcases their stripes with debut single
The band describes their sound as music you can dance to, drive to and vibe to; a collaboration and celebration of music served in true South African style.
Have you ever wondered why a zebra has two different stripes? Local Potchefstroom based afro-indie band, Zebraman, might just give you the closest possible answer through their diverse music that showcases that op- posites attract and unite. The group, consisting of Johan Viljoen on vocals and guitar, Jan-Meyer Verhoef on the key- board, Wouter Möller on drums and Franzua ‘Zua’ van den Heever on bass, recently unleashed their first single “Green & Lovin’” on all major platforms. The song showcases a unique acoustic and South African vibe with enough interesting sounds and elements to keep things fresh from start to finish.
Green & Lovin’ starts with an acoustic guitar vibe, rhythmic drums from Möller and Viljoen’s soulful voice. Think relaxation, sunsets and all things blissful. The chorus then visits your ears with a superbly melodic synth and keyboard section from Verhoef and chunky bass lines from Van den Heever that will stick in your head – it proves that these guys know how to create a hook and melody. A favourite part is the whistling of the main melody, which emphasises the African flavour that is ever-present. The band describes their sound as music you can dance to, drive to and vibe to; a collaboration and celebration of music served in true South African style. The band’s influences range from Paul Simon, Foster the People, Milky Chance, Johnny Clegg and The Kooks, to name a few.
