Freetown Collective at Flamingo Cantina
The music of Freetown Collective is not only profound and meaningful; but catchy, energizing and deeply satisfying. Within the last few years, the band has steadily been growing its global appeal and reach. After a brief international tour in 2015 that saw them grace stages in Rotterdam, Edinburgh, London and Toronto, in 2016 one of the Band’s more famous compositions entitled “Believer” (formerly known as Good Swimma) was released globally and remixed by Major Lazer and Showtek, (https://goo.gl/P2UexK). In 2017, “Believer” received Gold Certification in France and exceeded 20 million views on YouTube. One of the band’s more recent hit singles with renowned DJ Private Ryan entitled “Feel The Love” has been streamed and viewed millions of times and is remains a rhythmic anthem in Trinidad and Tobago.
