Tidal Waves
Tidal Waves Live at Strab
"Manifesto is an original and distinctly African contemporary reggae soundtrack that is fast becoming my favourite release of 2009. They're steeped in
South African music, creating relevant tunes, with a conscious message, and the most exciting and original sound around. Their roots are buried firmly
in our culture. And their fruit is one of our sweetest."
- Andy Davis, Mahala Magazine
"Tidal Waves are so accessible. They are always the first band that comes to mind when we discuss bands with a truly and purely South African vibe
who aren't the African tribal cliché. I have never left a Tidal Waves show disappointed. It's just not possible to criticise a band that can make you sing
along in more than three languages. What other band do you know that can do that?"
- Mique van der Merwe, Rock Out Radio
From: Johannesburg, South Africa
