This brings back so many memories - I used to live in Cape Town and would spend many an afternoon at the Waterfront listening to these guys. They are brilliant.
This reminds me of the first/early recordings of South African choirs: Good energy, soul and the genuine South African sound. No modern-American gospel influence, which is good! If you record your stuff, I'd use only a few microphones and capture the natural acoustic sound (not individually recorded). You don't need a big studio or producer, just do it yourself (maybe on magnetic tape) and use your own ears. Good work!
they were here in Holland this year, to preform at the Amandla Mandela Musical....they were great!
HOpe they come again ;-)

Hmm... so they don't just imitate Ladysmith Black Mambazo in name, but they also sing some of LBM's songs!
Doesn't matter anyway - still lovely harmonies, all the same.
