Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on February 7, 2008.
I am ashamed to say that until recently, my only knowledge about Ladysmith Black Mambazo was that of most average students…a one time reference made in the Lindsay Lohan comedy, Mean Girls. But, as Joseph Shabalala would say, there is still plenty of Nomathemba left for me. After Saturday’s performance I will never forget Ladysmith Black Mambazo! Not only are they a phenomenal choral group, but their entire performance was a most delightful occasion.
The group entertained audiences with both joyous and moving songs, and included dance, tradition, audience interaction and of course a message of love, peace and happiness. Not to mention, a personal invitation to one of the performers homes in South Africa for the 2010 World Cup, (I am still seriously considering it). But in all, what impressed me most, aside from the mere talent, was the dedication to keep traditional music flowing in South Africa. Ladysmith has come a long way, and has never failed to sell out its concerts. And I don’t think they will anytime soon…So, if you have a chance to ever check them out elsewhere (since you missed a great show) don’t be a “isidingidwane” and miss it! (Zulu it, if your curious).
