Live-band music lives on forever. Freshlyground is even making it attractive to other cultural groups, that will show and help their staying power. Great music by this group
This is one of my favorite African groups. They are world-class and Ghanaian musicians should take a cue from them. I am hoping programmes like Mentor and Bands Alive can produce musicians who will be like Freshlyground in the future.
