BioFreshlyground is a South African band that started in Cape Town in 2002. Their music joins pop, folk, and African rhythms to create a sound that feels natural and full of character. The group was made up of Zolani Mahola (vocals), Josh Hawks (bass), and others. The mix of their styles made their music easy to connect with. Their album Nomvula gave them recognition with songs like “Doo Be Doo,” which captured everyday joy. Later projects, such as Ma’Cheri and Radio Africa, carried deeper stories about love, belonging, and social change while keeping a playful spirit. In 2010, they featured on Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” during the FIFA World Cup, introducing their sound to a global audience. Freshlyground’s music reflects real life, simple feelings, honest moments, and hope drawn from shared experience. They remain one of South Africa’s most relatable and distinctive bands, known for their inspirational and amazing tunes.
