WHAT’S HAPPENING THURSDAY JANUARY 21 S U N R I S E 7: 4 0 A M ; S U N S E T 5 : 0 7 P M A V G . H I G H 4 7; A V G . L O W 3 3 Shortly after being freed from prison in 1990, Nelson Mandela called South Africa’s a capella super group Ladysmith Black Mambazo the nation’s “cultural ambassadors to the world.” Joseph Shabalala formed the chorus in the early ’60s after hearing isicathamiya music, a style of singing that originated in South African mining communities, for the fi rst time. Shabalala says isicathamiya haunted his dreams until he decided to try mixing it with traditional harmonies of mbube singing. The result was Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a group so talented and dedicated that they soon found themselves in a league of their own — according to their website, Ladysmith was banned from South African music com- petitions because nobody could hold a candle to them. Backing Paul Simon on his 1986 hit record Graceland lead to collaborations with artists Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, to name only a few. The title of their most recent album, Singing for Peace Around the World, seems to say it all. Hear Ladysmith Black Mamba- zo perform live at WOW Hall Tuesday.
