Win tickets to see Freshlyground
Stand a chance to win one of five double tickets to see Freshlyground live at the Barnyard Theatre at Parkview in Moreleta Park.
Freshlyground are on their way to Gauteng for three exclusive performances in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
Fronted by the diminutive but dynamic Zolani Mahola, the band exudes a live performance energy that has been the bedrock of their success.
The experienced rhythm section of Peter Cohen (drums) & Josh Hawks (bass) is complimented by guitarist Julio Sigauque, keyboardist Seredeal Scheepers, Simon Attwell (flute, mbira, sax and harmonica) and violinist Kyla Rose Smith.
Freshlyground performed Waka Waka live at the FIFA Kickoff Concert and at the FIFA World Cup Soccer closing ceremony in Johannesburg which was broadcast to over a billion people worldwide.
To date Waka Waka has sold well over 3 million singles and reached number #1 on several charts worldwide. The song is the most successful anthem in the history of the FIFA World Cup and has introduced Freshlyground and their music to a host of new fans across the globe.
The band went back to studio in the winter of 2012 in the small Karoo town of Prince Albert. They worked with award-winning studio engineer Dave Langemann and Grammy award-winning producer Steve Berlin to record their fifth studio album, Take Me To The Dance.
The band built a makeshift studio in a community theatre in the middle of the quiet Karoo town, and created a space where, says Peter Cohen, “We pushed ourselves on many levels, and as a result the record is sonically far less predictable… our collaboration with DJ Headroom on the title track Take Me To The Dance displays the band’s flexibility within genres. Freshlyground have always allowed themselves wide latitude in terms of style-hopping, and I think this album achieves that more successfully than all the others.”
In 2013 the band released Take me To The Dance in the United States on the Word of Mouth label. This was followed by a US tour which included a show at the prestigious New York The Apollo.
For their Pretoria show at the Barnyard Theatre, Parkview Shopping Centre, on Sunday 29 March, Rekord is giving away five double tickets.
