The choral group founded by Joseph Shabalala is pure a cappella magic. Their ability to harmonize and elevate stage energy to a fever pitch puts other musical acts to shame. While most modern musicians lean on amplified instrumentation, choreographed dancers and pyrotechnics, these masters of vocalization bring only their talent and infectious good attitude. If spectacle is measured by the amount of entertainment given by a group divided by the amount of equipment said group relies on, Ladysmith Black Mambazo reigns supreme above all! Strange mathematics aside, the five-time Grammy-winning choral group is a must-see for any music fan. (TMM)
