The intricate rhythms and stirring harmonies of Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s SouthAfrican sound have captivated audiences for more than 40 years. Led by Joseph Shabalala, the group’s discography currently includes more than 50 recordings.
Borrowing heavily from a traditional music called “isicathamiya,” which was developedin the mines of South Africa, the group’s philosophy has always been as much about thepreservation of musical heritage as it is about entertainment.
The group has recordedwith numerous artists from around the world, including Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban,Dolly Parton, Ben Harper and many more. They have been featured on several motion picture sound tracks including Coming to America, Invictus, and Cry The Beloved
