“It isn’t merely the grace and power of their dancing or the beauty of their singing that rivets the attention, but the sheer joy and love that emanates from their being” (Paul Simon). Join Grammy Award-winning Ladysmith Black Mambazo for a dynamic performance of South African dance and a cappella harmony. It’s been over 25 years since the group joined Paul Simon on the Grammy-nominated album Graceland; before and since, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has sent spirits soaring with intricate rhythms and harmonies in a musical and spiritual alchemy that touches a worldwide audience. Led by founder Joseph Shabalala, the group will feature favorites as well as selections from their recent Grammy-nominated release, Songs From a Zulu Farm.
