Ladysmith Black Mambazo has brought their joyful vocal music from South Africa to the world for over half a century, their music rising from isicathamiya, the music of the mines. In the past year, they’ve released two albums: Songs of Peace and Love for Kids and Parents Around the World Sharing, and also Shaka Zulu Revisited, both of which have received Grammy nominations—bringing the band to 19 Grammy nominations in their career.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo will perform in the Jaqua Concert Hall in Eugene on Wednesday evening, January 24th. They visited the SELCO Performance Hall of the KLCC studios, for songs and conversation with Eric Alan.
