Fresh from the International African Festival in Germany and Strab Festival in Mozambique, the band came and spoke about their love for music and how Tidal Waves has grown over the past 11 years of being in the music industry. They also performed two acoustic versions of songs from their latest album, Manifesto ("What You Got" and "Lufuno").
