Live Jazz London

Influences: Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim

Freshlyground deliver propulsive Afro-jazz anchored by marabi-inflected piano and driven by a rhythm section that constantly shifts shape. Led by vocalist Mbali Makhoba, their sound weaves flutes and guitars through jazz horns and Afro-pop melody with festival-scale energy and precision—bright, movement-focused arrangements built for real-time live intensity.
