For more than 30 years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has carved out an impressive musical legacy, bringing the beauty of Zulu acapella, also known as iscathamiya, to a global stage (latterly with help of singer-songwriter Paul Simon). For its first live album, Ladysmith delivers a mesmerizing performance that's a testament to the power and richness of the human voice. Led by Joseph Shabalala, this 10-man outfit chants and harmonizes through a 12-song program predominantly made up of Shabalala originals. Among the themes touched on are love ("Hello My Baby," "Ngamthola"), spirituality, in "King of Kings" and "Ngothandaza NJalo (I Will Keep on Praying)," the weather, in "Rain Rain Beautiful Rain," and the back-breaking work of South African miners, in "Panshi Emigodini (Deep Down in the Mines)." Capping off this invigorating live experience is "Homeless," a goosebump-inducing number Shabalala co-wrote with Simon that also appears on GRACELAND.
