"Even though I have fat thighs, flabby arms, a pot belly gives good loving" teases Zo from Freshlyground on the first single off Ma"cheri, the band"s long awaited follow-up to Nomvula. It"s an unrepentant frolic whose idiotically catchy lyrics are set to be one of this summers singalongs. The Rainbow Nation has few rainbow bands. Political segregation in South Africa may have ended in 1994, but culturally, separation rules. However Freshlyground transcend this, striking a chord with everyone from infants to pensioners, regardless of colour or class. Freshlyground have sold over 200,000 copies of their last album. In the UK, they played GMTV and had a major feature in Sunday Times. Led by Zo Mohola, a singer with a flair for the dramatic and a pure voice that tugs at the heart whether she is singing in English or the click-clicks of her native Xhosa, Freshlyground are set to conquer the UK as they have their homeland.
