The renowned South African choral ensemble, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, is slated to return to Ottawa with a special performance on April 3, aimed at supporting the Ottawa Jazz Festival. This event marks the choir's return to the festival stage after a notable absence since their last performance back in 2013.

Concert Details and Tickets

Ladysmith Black Mambazo will take the spotlight at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, with festivities kicking off at 8 p.m., preceded by an opportunity for socializing, complete with canapés and a cash bar. Mystery gift items will also be available for purchase. Premium reserved seating is offered at $105, with general admission tickets priced at $75, inclusive of a $50 tax receipt.

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'.
