Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Joseph Shabalala formed the legendary South African vocal group Ladymith Black Mambazo 65 years ago, and they have since won 5 GRAMMY Awards and received 19 GRAMMY nominations––more than any World Music group in the history of recorded music. The group sings a traditional music style called isicathamiya (Is-Cot-A-Mee-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa. While Joseph retired in 2014, his three sons, Thulani, Sibongiseni, and Thamsanqa Shabalala carry on their father’s legacy alongside Msizi Shabalala, Albert Mazibuko, Abednego Mazibuko, Mfanafuthi Dlamini, Pius Shezi and Sabelo Mthembu. Listen to their captivating Zulu and gospel melodies, and imagine how electrifying it would be to see them perform live!
