Joseph Shabalala is Christian and this music is a fusion of traditional Zulu and Christian gospel musical styles. To young black South Africans, this was their parents' music, as old-fashioned and outmoded as the blues is to young black American fans of rap/hip-hop etc. LBM's enthusiastic reception surprised and dismayed young black South Africans. But the music's basic simplicity, sincerity and goodness have sustained it despite its detractors and allowed it to outlast more transient fads.

I had brought my dad to the concert because Ladysmith is something we bond over, and because when I was growing up the end of Apartheid was the world issue I was taught about first. Both of us were teary blubbery messes. I have so much affection and gratitude for this music.

What a beautiful memory you have to cherish. Wish I had been there. About 20 or 30 years ago I think, I hread them for the first at a free public concert. I worked for American Express at the time in what was known as the World Financial Center (WFC) (where the 911 tragedy occurred in NY). WFC used to give free concerts for employees and the general public on a frequent basis. I believe at the time they were largely unheard of in America and possibly the world. I feel blessed to know that I saw them at what I believe was one of their very first American concerts. The audience, like I, had no idea who they were or, for us, this new and wonderous sound. I, and I believe, thousands that were at that free concert, became instant and lifelong fans!
