Ladysmith Black Mambazo
a co-presentation with Crocodile River Music
The a cappella vocal group that has been creating music for over sixty years brings South African musical tradition to Worcester. In partnership with Crocodile River Music, the Worcester-based organization showcasing African artists, Ladysmith Black Mambazo shares their trademark tight harmony and exciting rhythm. You may know the group from Paul Simon’s Graceland album, but since then we’ve heard so much more from the ensemble, which is one of the (if not the) most famous South African musical groups of all time.
In this performance filled with groove, traditional instrumentation, and energy that’s filled the hall since 1960, audiences are also introduced to historically informed style. Bringing Isicathamiya to the stage – a style of Zulu a capella – the group provides a powerful and approachable introduction to South African musical style.
