Ladysmith Black Mambazo - 'How Long' - Extended, Better Quality

New upload of the song 'How Long' but now with small leftovers of the original VHS-tape from around 30 years ago. The song How Long deserved a better quality anyway so that's why I uploaded this, slightly extended version. Sorry for us all I did not realize 30 years ago this would become so valuable and managed to record the whole show, anyway, enjoy the new file!

You can keep people down for so long before something good come out of them love this thank you for opening my heart

[@NickLotay]

Wonderful! Thank you for uploading. Could you please state how many songs the group sang on this particular programme - was it just the three seen and heard on this clip? This is a rare and fantastic chance to see LBM in a pre-Graceland era. They had made their first international appearance in 1981 at the Cologne Zulu Festival, and this clip is from 1982 after German fans requested they return to the country to make more public appearances.

Here is the original Ladysmith black mambazo which was the favourite of my grandpa also my fathers as well as mine these guys has truly shaped my destine, the first time that i heard their music I was in the thick Zambezi's forests near Victoria falls that's when I had to start mimicking them up until in 2017 when I shared the same dressing room which they had used the day before and performed in the same venue at Chicago USA long live the legends.

@NickLotay Sorry but there's nothing to tell about. This was just a coincidential treasure I found on one of my tapes. I always thought this was pre-graceland too but also thought it was from a Dutch broadcast, maybe the Willem Ruis Talkshow. Anyone who can be more clear about such details is invited to comment, grtz, Aart

The legendaries! My best SA group. Coordination, precision, everything is outstanding! What a performance! Their harmony is stunning. Papa Shabalala will be missed though!
