Freshly Ground Take Part in Mara Marathon

South African Afro-fusion band, Freshly Ground, performed during the Kenya Airways Maasai Mara Marathon. The marathon was aimed at raising money to establish health, education and environmental conservation within the Lemek Conservancy in the Game Reserve.

Freshly Ground plays an original mix of indigenous African sounds and contemporary urban styles such as afro-pop and dance music. The South African was joined on stage by Electrique DJs, the Beat Parade Band, Homeboyz Entertainment, DJ D-Lite and DJ G-Money.

This year, the Mara Marathon came early because organizers wanted marathoners and spectators to enjoy the stunning wildebeest migration of the Mara – Serengeti which was recently crowned one of the wonders of the modern world. Usually, the marathon is held in November.

This is the second time that Freshly Ground is performing Kenya, the very first being at the Kinanda Festival. The event’s hostess was Monique Kabuye.
