Joseph Shabalala created a masterpiece in LadySmith Black Mambazo. I remember watching them with Paul Simon in the 80's. The were magificent then, and they haven't changed a bit. The most beautiful music in the world!
I don't always understand what they're saying but I understand and appreciate the warmth and sense of joy that flows from them. Things that are so sadly missing from most commercial music.
It's just very nice, very warm and I feel that! Peace to you all
forgive world Africa for lesser help, please look into your divine dreams and keep hoping for more from world, god loves Africa with all hope of world
OMG, I have freakin loved them since I was a little girl in dance class with only an acapella tape dubbed for me by one of my dance teachers. Didn't know who they were back then, but so grateful that I "discovered" them again in my early 20's. I saw this show on PBS in 2007, but didn't know if it was merely a rerun or new; how old is this clip, please someone? Thanks :)
the meaning of alpha and Omega is metaphorically denoting to being the first and last.Meaning spanning and transcending time.This is a title ascribed only to God :)
The strength, the energy, The unusual sounds, creativity and co-ordination in that group is outstanding it's what's so entertaining. Acapella all Human nothing else but a mic and the air in their lungs... A timeless stile.
so true......this music far pre dates the "Temptations", when this specific group started recording they were so isolated in their township that they though that singing into the microphone would capture there voices forever and they would be rendered unable to even speak let alone sing. please hold your spiteful words especially if your going to comment on subjects that so many others hold dear and you clearly know little. Thank you
Absolutely brilliant. I love the harmonys - their songs have so much spirit and power to them. In music we listen to different music from parts of the world, and i must say, Africa is my favourite, with singers like these, and the amazing, talented drummers xx
You are the star big guys keep it up. I like Scathamiya Music. Never mind about the dogs bucking out side there,zikhonkotha ehambayo.We are watching you men.
I'm gonna guess you're one of those little punks that watched American History X a few times and read Mein Kampf so now you think you know exactly what you want and why.
You're wrong, you're sick.. and nobody should have to hear the shit that you spew out of your mouth.
U got so much against us yet u got nothin oer us: U breathe same air we do, shit jus like all animals, die like all mortals n leave everythin u so proud of on dis earth. So don let dis so called 'white power' dis-illusion u coz we all de same.
i grew up listening to these guys. They are awsome!! if anyone has anything nasty to say, keep it to urself cause they have been singing longer that most people have been born!
Oh how I miss Africa........

I have just seen and heard them on 'Cassics TV' in U.K. they were singing 'World in Union'. And that was great too.
The lead singer reminds me of the Nyasaland singers who workedin Zimbabwe in the 1940s, and brought back my youth to me. Wonderful sound!
