Ladysmith Black Mambazo at De La Warr Pavilion, Ladysmith Black Mambazo celebrate the life and music of their founder Joseph Shabalala with their upcoming tour.

With regards to recent news, Ladysmith Black Mambazo will be celebrating the life and music of their founder Joseph Shabalala in the upcoming concerts. Joseph retired from the group in 2014 and handed leadership of the group over to his four sons Thulani, Msizi, Sibongiseni and Thamsanqa, who carry Joseph’s dream of a united South Africa into the future.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo are one of the world’s greatest and most distinctive vocal groups. For sixty years the legendary a cappella male choir have invoked the soul of South Africa with their intricate rhythms and harmonies and powerful, uplifting songs.

They shot to global stardom after featuring on Paul Simon’s Graceland and have been touring the world ever since.

‘Truly great singing, balancing soulful ballads and traditional dance songs with exquisite and perfectly timed harmony work’ (Guardian)

“Gorgeous harmonies from the South African vocal ensemble, best known for their work with Paul Simon on Graceland. Though they sing entirely a cappella, their songs have a rhythmic spring, and their dance moves are light-footed and elegant” (Daily Telegraph)

‘With their cheeky scissor-kicks, Ladysmith Black Mambazo were pretty spry for a 60-year-old choral group. Their line-up has evolved… but the South Africans’ close-knit harmonies are just as faultless as they were on Paul Simon’s Graceland, which, in 1986, brought them international fame.’ (★★★★☆ Telegraph)
