Performer Information

Few groups have left as indelible a mark on world music as Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Formed in 1960 in Ladysmith, South Africa, the group was founded by Joseph Shabalala, with founding member Albert Mazibuko singing alongside him from the group’s earliest days. Fans continue to follow each Ladysmith Black Mambazo tour as the ensemble brings isicathamiya and mbube harmonies to audiences around the globe. Their early international breakthrough came through collaborations on Paul Simon’s Grammy-winning Graceland era, which introduced their sound to millions and set the stage for decades of global touring.

With five Grammy Awards and multiple nominations, Ladysmith Black Mambazo stands as a cultural ambassador of South African choral music. Their precise a cappella harmonies, call-and-response arrangements, and gentle, choreographed footwork have inspired generations while solidifying their legacy as pioneers who carried isicathamiya and mbube to international stages.
