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.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo performs at 7:30pm Tuesday,
Jan. 26, at WOW Hall, 291 W. 8th Ave.; $19-$29.
