Freshlyground

Freshlyground formed in early 2002, and is made up of seven talented and diverse musicians from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. 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. Although hailing from diverse backgrounds, between them the band’s members weave a musical magic that is highly infectious and undeniably groovy.

As you drive about 13 miles north of Durban, the largest city in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, you pass a lush fertile belt where the rich green shades of the sugar cane meet the turquoise of the Indian Ocean. This is where on the 26th November 1983, guitarist and composer Guy Buttery was born and raised in a small coastal town along the North Coast. This is a place of enchantment, freedom, promise and where the creative spirit takes charge. Besides being introduced to music at an early age through his mother who plays the piano and his older brothers who played guitar, the muse naturally took hold of Guy when he was ten.

KaribaJazz Band

KaribaJazz provides, um, jazz. Typically 4-6 piece it’s great when you want lively and elegant music but don’t need to fill the dance floor. Or if you like jazz!

Band members are the best in the country.

KaribaJazz can easily be morphed into a function band, but let me know.

KaribaRimba Marimba Band

KaribaRimba combines African marimba/percussion band with brass. It performs with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 members. So far we’ve performed under the name Intsholo. The ten-piece is unique and will never be equaled--a cd is available. We've performed throughout Southern Africa, as well as Norway, the U.S.A. and France.
