Ladysmith Black Mambazo first came together in the early 1960s under the gentle guidance of sweet-voiced Joseph Shabalala. His inspiration for the group came to him in a dream in which a choir of children sang and danced. Shabalala soon transferred that dream to real life when he formed Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith Black Mambazo is part of the time-honored tradition of South African Zulu male choral music called isicathamiya. Singing as a means to stay close to their roots, Ladysmith Black Mambazo released their first album in 1973. They have since produced over 30 albums, including their collaboration on Paul Simon's "Graceland," in 1986.
