Ladysmith Black Mambazo
| March 18 buy Always a sell-out, Ladysmith Black Mambazo returns to the Annenberg Center for a special one-night-only performance bringing hits from their new Grammy®-winning album, Ilembe: Honoring Shaka Zulu. Since Paul Simon’s Graceland catapulted Ladysmith Black Mambazo to worldwide fame, this eight-member vocal group has opened doors to South African culture through music, dance and singing. For more than 40 years, they’ve married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music. The result is a not-to-be-missed musical and spiritual alchemy that, according to Simon, emanates “sheer joy and love” and has touched a universal audience representing every corner of the religious, cultural and ethnic landscape.
