Welcome to Tidal Waves
|
The TIDAL WAVES are no newcomers to the South African music industry or public. Known as “the hardest working reggae band in South Africa” with their slogan “original music for original people." AFRIKA is their 4th album (their first an EP and the second two independent releases). We hear some great new songs as well as some totally unavailable hit classics from the past re-recorded and mixed to perfection and only available right here on this release – played in every show they do! |

“Roots Reggae” all the way with some interesting rock/ ska fusion on certain tracks and highly socially and politically conscious messages, the WAVES have maximum credibility, and to prove this fact have garnered SAMA and CHANNEL O awards for their efforts in the reggae genre.
The WAVES, under the management of OPPIKOPPI PRODUCTIONS, have a very active live profile indeed (both local and international) making their name one that penetrates and permeates. |

Tidal Waves played a steaming and catching reggae set at the 2005 Pukkelpop festival in Belgium. It was amazing to see how they pulled a fully crowded tent at an alternative festival at the same time as Nick Cave was playing, and got all the people to dance. They really represented the good and bad sides of South Africa with their warm and sunny - but also political - musical. Off stage we also greatly appreciated these 100% pure people.
