“…sheer joy and love that emanates from their being.” – Paul Simon
Ladysmith Black Mambazo has an illustrious history going back five decades. Formed in the early '60s, the South African a cappella group initially won so many singing competitions that they were no longer allowed to compete. Today, fifty years and fifty albums later, the group continues to enchant audiences with its uplifting, melodic style of African music called isicathamiya (si-cot-a-ME-ya). In 1984, Paul Simon featured them on his Graceland album and produced their first U.S. release, Shaka Zulu, which won a Grammy award. Many more award-winning albums and collaborations followed with such prominent artists as Stevie Wonder, Sarah McLachlan, and Emmy Lou Harris. Singing For Peace Around The World is their latest CD.
