Hailing from Barcelona, Spain Black Gandhi is a young band formed by six artisst who share the same philosophy and the same love for music.
They’re performances have been accurately described as “a joyful party”…c’mon, get happy.

Tidal Waves is widely regarded as the hardest working reggae band in South Africa.Tidal Waves write and perform original reggae music with traditional African music influences like Maskandi and Mbaqanga. The sound is original roots reggae with strong rock, ska and blues influences. They are renowned for performing music in English, Afrikaans, Setswana and Tshivhenda. Like all good reggae, their lyrics are socially conscious and uplifting, imploring their fans to stand up for integration and One Love. Other songs have deeply rooted anti war sentiments, while others lament the sad tales of urban South African poverty and the struggle to survive as musicians.
