I have listened them around 1990, by courtesy of The Voice of South Africa, , who have sent to me a cassette with their voices.Sincerely, they are excellents.I like them vy much.Congratulations !!!!!
If I'm not mistaken this was in 1987 live in Zimbabwe because in those days it was not allowed in South Africa to have many black people in one place especially in one place with whites. I stand to be corrected. Just love these guys
Come to Africa. This is how Africans sing. The 'solo singer' is a European thing. We always sing in groups. I heard this very sound two weeks ago at my cousin's wedding. The men in my family were singing. Its beautiful. Its even more beautiful when you're part of them.
I <3 LBM voices from heaven! Kinda wish some of there stuff was included on the white wedding soundtrack. would have made it even better. The movie was still excellent and the soundtrack was one of my favs. About to buy it for dvd whiteweddingmovie. com
the best thing about them its that, it will never die, at time one or two may meet there end over many years.. 2000000 years from now.. they may not near the people they came from.. but the music will be loved by those who love it.
@TheSandsie13 not just North America. most white people didn't know anything of them. and that's because even in their own country they couldn't get radio play because of apartheid. they'd have remained performing as a village ensemble had they not been brought to a larger stage by Paul Simon. they acknowledge this in one of their songs where they sing about the day the met PS in Jo'burg and this leading onto them "getting the wings to fly abroad".
@WTFPWNT otally agree! God Bless Africa, amazing continent with true people, and worst part of that is that we (all of us) we know those gold soul people are dying at we are just looking at it
This is what I call music of the soul, u cant help but listen with so much amaizement and pleasure...these guyz are truly the best at what they do,a beat so unique and african...keep it up!

Ai più potrebbe sembrare che questa serie di vocalizzi non abbia niente a che fare col gioco del calcio...ma anche come hanno cantato questi negretti...
I am thankful for having seen them perform. Amazing. Lol, they were wearing wellies and using them as instruments, I loved it. Thanks for putting it up, it was such a long long time ago.
i love the different culture's all over the world. we need to learn to respect each other! never judge a person by where he/she comes from or by the religion he/she believes in but by the content of their character! that is what music tells us :-) everywhere....just listen to it right! god bless you all <3
holy cow! they called themselves Ladysmith? i never knew- Ladysmith for you non historians is a true tale about white millitary ineffectuallity in Africa. 'Hello My Baby' , reclaimed by Ladysmith -terrific!
At this show, Paul introduces the group by saying they take their name from their hometown, ladysmith, while mambazo means "axe" in their native language, which they decided upon because of their powerful vocals...
i have no idea what this is, it came up in my recomended for you, but she was mentioned in mean girls, i think, like cady was going to a concert of it
this is really good music 2 have goin 2 meditate.. I have an african spirt guide and this music gets me very intouch with her..i love africa and the ppl r beautiful..I hope 2 visit africa atleast once in this life time:)
