Performer: Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: This collection of Ladysmith Black Mambazo concert performances is drawn from three different appearances--in 1987, '89, and 2000--at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The groundbreaking South African vocal group, led by founder/songwriter Joseph Shabalala, offers up deep, buoyant harmonies on several original songs and a stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace" (arranged, in part, by Paul Simon).
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.
