I have watched them twice on tour in Birmingham. Their harmonies are perfect, their songs captivating, and in three words I love them. I am sad about the passing of Joseph Shabalaba, he had a unique voice and personality. May the group continue for many years and their Zulu heritage never fade. God bless you all.

I discovered Ladysmith Black Mambazo because of the Paul Simon album "Graceland" in 1986. Being a Canadian who lives in a remote part of the country (bush), it was my introduction to African music. Since then, I've searched for their albums ever since (and found them). Their sound soothes my soul, like diving into a cool lake on the hottest summer day. Thank you so much for posting these videos. Also, the comments are enlightening and I very much appreciate the explanations. I am indebted and forever grateful.

On the eve of Mothers day, 10th May 2014, I managed to take my mother out and watch their musical, in Pretoria State theatre. The play tells a story of how they were formed, why they were called Amambazo amnyama, why the music is called Isicathamiya (tip toe). How the young Joseph Mshengu Tshabalala followed his dream of singing. The play is a beautiful history of politics in my country, thus when they stamp their feet it does not make noise, that is called ukucotha, this was a form of not waking the white man (employer) thus the tip toe. Comparing Johnny Clegg way of indlamu, which stomp the ground hard, isicathamiya is more suttle and melodious.The show is a must see.
