A Musical Legacy

Since their foundation in 1960, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has gained international acclaim, particularly after their collaboration with Paul Simon on his 1987 album 'Graceland.' Their cultural influence continues to grow, as evidenced by their recently released 13-track album, 'Soothe My Soul: Songs From Our South African Church'.
