Multiple Grammy winners - Paul Simon's "Graceland" fame

For more than 40 years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has taken its combination of South African musical traditions and Christian gospel music beyond the stage to become a cultural force and a leader in World Music. "Discovered" in the US following the group's performance on Paul Simon's Graceland, Ladysmith Black Mambazo's music is revered for the stirring sound of bass, alto and tenor harmonies. With songs that have their roots in the slave mines of South Africa, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is said to offer music that gets into the blood because it comes from the blood, evoking enthusiasm and excitement, regardless of one's spirituality.
