I saw them Sunday in Dallas. It was the most joyous performance I've ever seen. With all due respect to Walt Disney, for 90 minutes, the Winspear Opera House was the happiest place in the world.
The first powerful note this good man sang, made tears swell in my eyes! Be good to each other people, do whatever you can for those more unfortunate than you with a roof over your head and food in your bellies.

I would like to take the time to point out that not alll American are racist, backward, provincial idiots only interested in the American Idol and the Kardashians. LBM has been an inspiration for me for two decades. TYheir harmony, perfection and professionalism are lessons that can be well learned by all races around this planet. Keep on singing and inspiring, gentlemen!!
i love this song.only in africa can u find a great harmony with out instrument and still fall in love with it.....they are still the best at what they do
They delayed some lyric delivery in this versions in comparable to the Paul Simon version. Mabey to defelect rythm to make it more sad than raise the roof jam.
omg i love this song best song ever it makes me cry and i like it when he says ih hih ih hih somebody sing hello hello hello somebody say ih hih ih hih ih somebody cry why why why?
I was so fortunate to see the Ladysmith Black Mambazo perform on Saturday with sthandwa sami by my side. Life doesn't get any better than that. Thank you Ladysmith and I LOVE YOU HUNNY.

Life expectancy at birth for males in Zimbabwe has dramatically declined since 1990 from 60 to 37, among the lowest in the world. Life expectancy for females is even lower at 34 years. It makes the drop in the markets look so trivial...
Whether from South Africa or South Manhattan, these men speak a universal language of truth.
Their music rings of heritage, gospel, and avant garde. But not so much the latter. I have seen these men in concert, and although I didn't quite "fit in", I was one of the few who knew all their songs. If you ever have the chance. Well, you know.......
As hard as it is to believe, this sounded even better on Paul Simon's CD "Graceland." The lead singer was turned up a little louder, and it just made it easier to sing along and enjoy it.
was this song about the disaster that occurred some years ago when a volcanic-crater lake in Africa outgassed a huge pulse of CO2 and it asphyxiated an entire village? Don't know why I think that, just imagination -
this song is so touching. you don't have to understand what it says to understand the feeling in their voices....thank you for posting it and thank you ladysmith black mambazo for the song!!!......
This song is so heavenly and it touches the soul! This is such a touching and beautiful song, Thank you Ladysmith Black Mambazo for blessing the world with your beautiful voices!!!!
who am i to comment on such powerful lyrics from men who have experienced more than i.on a selfish note, i should dearly love to hear their voices in Paris France.
Such a powerful song. So much emotion.
