Concert: Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Ladysmith Black Mambazo (LBM) is probably the most famous a cappella group from South Africa. The group was founded in the early 1960s in Ladysmith in what is now the province of KwaZulu-Natal. The "Black" in the name refers to "Black Ox", which (traditionally) represents the strongest animal on an (African) farm. Mambazo means "axe". Until his death on 11 February 2020, Joseph Shabalala led the all-male choir in the tradition of Mbube and Isicathamiya, the traditional Zulu male choral singing.
