      They are not great because of five Grammy Awards. They are great because they sing the struggle of the people of South Africa. Ladysmith was singing to help break apartheid not get Grammy Awards. White people perspectives are crazy.

    Joseph Shabalala is Christian and this music is a fusion of traditional Zulu and Christian gospel musical styles. To young black South Africans, this was their parents' music, as old-fashioned and outmoded as the blues is to young black American fans of rap/hip-hop etc. LBM's enthusiastic reception surprised and dismayed young black South Africans. But the music's basic simplicity, sincerity and goodness have sustained it despite its detractors and allowed it to outlast more transient fads.

    I heard this a few years ago at the Peekskill Paramount. That night they found out they won a Grammy during the intermission and came out and sang the South African national anthem. I had brought my dad to the concert because Ladysmith is something we bond over, and because when I was growing up the end of Apartheid was the world issue I was taught about first. Both of us were teary blubbery messes. I have so much affection and gratitude for this music.

      What a beautiful memory you have to cherish. Wish I had been there.
      About 20 or 30 years ago I think, I hread them for the first at a free public concert.
      I worked for American Express at the time in what was known as the World Financial Center (WFC) (where the 911 tragedy occurred in NY). WFC used to give free concerts for employees and the general public on a frequent basis. I believe at the time they were largely unheard of in America and possibly the world. I feel blessed to know that I saw them at what I believe was one of their very first American concerts. The audience, like I, had no idea who they were or, for us, this new and wonderous sound. I, and I believe, thousands that were at that free concert, became instant and lifelong fans!

    I got to see Ladysmith Black Mambazo quite a many years back, in Montreal
    .WOWOW!! WHat an amazing show. They are spectacular...those voices are mesmerizing and felt deeply by the human soul. I was moved to tears when they sang the African Anthem. That night is etched in my heart forver. Grateful for this music..BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys ♥

      African Anthem????

    • @KatJalbert
      @KatJalbert 7 років тому +1

      Unless I was mislead... I was told this is the Nation Anthem of South Africa:
      South Africa Anthem Text
      Nkosi sikelel' Afrika
      Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
      Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
      Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
      Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
      O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
      O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
      Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.
      Uit die blou van onse hemel,
      Uit die diepte van ons see,
      Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
      Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
      Sounds the call to come together,
      And united we shall stand,
      Let us live and strive for freedom,
      In South Africa our land.
      Is this correct?

    I remember the group coming to my hometown when I was younger. A little brown girl from a small white city, I was in awe seeing real Africans for the first time. Still one of my fondest memories. their vocals were so amazing.

    I love the way the singers interpret the song; - the voices different sections from tenor to deep baritone - are soft and gentle, just like light from the moon. That's why the song to me sounds like a lullaby.
