Bringing sound of the Zulus to city
SOUTH African male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo makes its debut in Shanghai next month, promising to wow local fans with a stunning and passionate performance.
The group is known for performing in the isicathamiya and mbube vocal styles, both native to South Africa.
It came to the world’s attention in 1986 after singing with Paul Simon on his album “Graceland,” and has won multiple awards, including four Grammys.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo was founded by Joseph Shabalala in 1960 after he heard certain isicathamiya harmonies — a traditional music of the Zulu people — in his dreams.
The first album “Amabutho” was released in 1973, and the group has gone on to become one of South Africa’s most prolific, notching up gold and platinum album sales.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo says it seeks to teach about South Africa and its culture.
