Ladysmith Black Mambazo

For over half a century, South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been delighting audiences all over the world with their uplifting vocal harmonies, signature dance moves, and charming onstage banter. The four-time Grammy Award-winning ensemble came to global fame when they collaborated with Paul Simon on his 1986 smash hit Graceland, and never looked back. Nelson Mandela called the group “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors to the world.”
