Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Concert Details

For more than 60 years, South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo has warmed the hearts of audiences worldwide with uplifting vocal harmonies, signature dance moves, and charming onstage banter. With a deep respect for both its cultural and personal history, the five-time Grammy-winning group is ever-evolving, with an eye toward its long musical legacy. Since the world discovered their powerful a cappella vocals on Paul Simon’s Graceland album, the original members have welcomed a younger generation in their mission, passing along the tradition of storytelling and spreading a message of peace, love, and harmony to millions of people around the world.

The late former South African president Nelson Mandela designated the group as South Africa’s cultural ambassadors to the world, a title the members carry with them with the highest honor. In 2018, the group received two Grammy nominations for two albums, bringing its total to 17 nominations.
