Performer: Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Producer: West Nkosi Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: It is only fitting that Ladysmith Black Mambazo introduced the world to the beauty and intricacy of Black South African harmony singing, the extraordinary style known generically as mbube. Ladysmith has been the preminent mbube group for some twenty years. Each track on this collection is a unique musical moment which reveals Ladysmith Black Mambazo's special genuis and the breathtaking beauty of their deep, rich harmonies. ~ MusD
From the South African musical style mbube, Ladysmith Black Mambazo popularized a more modern, sophisticated offshoot known as iscathamiya. They quickly became the genre's leading practitioners, with a vocal harmony blend that incorporated everything from mbube to gospel and doo wop. The group began recording in the mid-1970s, gaining great acclaim in their home country, but it wasn't until their collaboration with Paul Simon on his GRACELAND album in 1986 that Ladysmith broke through to an international audience. World tours, a US major-label deal, and a Grammy award followed.
