Listen 2 Africa Series/Razor & Tie Though Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been performing since the 1960s, it wasn't until the a cappella group's seminal work on Paul Simon's 1986 Grammy-winning Graceland that the world truly took notice. But the South African group has always been on a cross-cultural journey working with fellow Africans, blues, jazz, hip-hop, soul, rock and country artists, among others...

Very few people outside of South Africa had ever heard of Ladysmith Black Mambazo before Paul Simon sought them out to sing on his Graceland album in 1986...

The world became aware of Ladysmith Black Mambazo via Paul Simon on his Graceland album in 1986, although they had existed in South Africa since the mid-1960s. Their work on Simon's "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," among others, introduced the soft-spoken harmonies of this all-male singing group, and from then on, LBM have enjoyed worldwide acclaim for their distinctive vocal style and ancient African themes...

South African a cappella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo's fiftysomethingth album, Songs from a Zulu Farm, intends to convey the sounds of the rural homesteads on which its members grew up, enlivening and reinterpreting the songs they sang as children. This presents a baffling challenge for the casual Western listener: a band with a massive back catalogue, singing in a strange language, with no instruments or melodic structure to steady the ship...

South Africa's best known iscathamiya (Zulu a cappella) group have worked hard over nearly five decades to keep an ostensibly rather narrow musical palette fresh and appealing, with mixed results. While their contribution to Paul Simon's 1986 album Graceland was a commercial and artistic triumph, subsequent pop collaborations at times compromised or dumbed down their four-part vocal harmonies, leading to justified criticisms and accusations of cheesiness...

Ladysmith Black Mambazo is one of those acts that everyone should go and see. The sweet South African harmonies of this band, which was brought to these shores thanks mainly to Paul Simon's Graceland record, are still as strong as ever. Having worked with everyone from Dolly Parton to Eric Clapton, the ten member group, led by founder Joseph Shabalala, has released a new album but under rather tragic circumstances...

Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been around for 45 years now, but most people only became familiar with them after their working relationship with Paul Simon during his classic Graceland album. Since then they've continued to tour almost non-stop, continued to issue high-quality albums, and continued to gain praise from fans and critics alike. But like so many other artists who have been around for decades, it often takes some cameo appearances for people to once again take notice...

After Africa's most celebrated a capella group became world superstars grace à Paul Simon in 1986, they produced a string of beautiful releases showcasing their signature sound--rhythmic purring, cooing, bubbling, hissing and occasionally stomping, all rendered with silky smooth, perfectly blended male voices. Recently, Ladysmith has been mixing it up collaborating with pop singers and even orchestral backing...
