Tidal Waves embark on Manifesto launch tour nationwide
Submitted by Jessica on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 17:19.
Southern Pulse is proud to announce that Tidal Waves will be kicking off their Manifesto Album Launch Tour on the 25th November 2009 with artists like Captain Stu, Voodoo Child, 7th Son, The Little Kings, Napalma and many more, to ensure that the crowd is skanking in unison this summer.
Tidal Waves, being one of the most respected bands in our country, write and perform original reggae music with traditional African music influences. The sound of the music remains original reggae with strong rock, ska and blues influences throughout all their albums, with their message conveyed in more than 3 languages, including Afrikaans, Tshivhenda and Setswana.
“The most striking thing about the new Tidal Waves album, Manifesto, is the sheer range of musical styles they manage to incorporate into their reggae groove. From kwela to boeremusiek to old 1950s style Jamaican ska via Sophiatown swing, mbaqanga, goema and rock - all fleshing out a reggae backbone.”
Andy Davis, Mahala Magazine
