☀️Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s signature sound is rooted in the intricate rhythms and harmonies of isicathamiya (pronounced is-cot-a-ME-ya) and mbube—traditional South African vocal styles. Founded in the early 1960s by visionary singer and activist Joseph Shabalala, the group has spent over 50 years captivating audiences worldwide with powerful a cappella performances, spreading messages of peace, hope, and love through melody and dance. ✨The group gained international fame through their collaboration with Paul Simon on the Grammy-winning album Graceland, but they were already beloved in South Africa—where Nelson Mandela named them cultural ambassadors to the world. With call-and-response singing, joyful movement, and deep cultural roots, Ladysmith Black Mambazo continues to uplift and inspire through the enduring power of song.
