  • Ladysmith Black Mambazo Monday, February 16, 2004 Theater Etiquette and Experiences
    A Performing Arts Series For Children PRESENTED BY THE MADISON CIVIC CENTER Ladysmith Black Mambazo Monday, February 16, 2004 Theater Etiquette and Experiences We have a wonderful opportunity at this performance to help youth learn about attending live performances. Sometimes young people do not realize how a live performance differs from watching a movie or television show. Please discuss the following with your students: 1. A live presentation has not been pre-recorded with the mistakes edited out. This makes it riskier for the performer and more exciting for the audience. It also means the audience contributes to the overall event. Each audience member affects those around him/her as well as the performer. The audience gives energy to the performer who uses that energy to give life to the performance. 2. An usher will show you where to sit. Walk slowly and talk quietly as you enter the theater. 3. If necessary, use the restroom before the performance begins. 4. Once you are seated, you may talk quietly to the people next to you until the performance begins. 5. When the lights dim, it is the signal that the performance is about to start. Stop talking and turn your attention to the stage. 6. Stay in your seat throughout the entire performance. 7. During the performance, listen quietly and watch closely. Talking during the performance will distract others around you, and the performers may think you’re not interested in the show. 8. LAUGHING IS APPROPRIATE. (Teachers, please do not hush the students while they are laughing.) If something is funny, it’s good to laugh.

    March 1, 2011 Audiences will dance in their seats when the Grammy® award-winning South African ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo returns for a special one-night-only performance at the Annenberg Center Performance to include selections from the just released CD Songs from a Zulu Farm (Philadelphia, March 1, 2011) — Audiences will delight in the gentle, uplifting and intoxicating harmonies of the all-male a capella South African ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo when they return to the Annenberg Center stage for a special one-night-only performance on Friday, March 18 at 8:00 PM. The group will perform hits from their just released album Songs from a Zulu Farm, a collection of songs about growing up on the farm in South Africa, considered Ladysmith’s most personal album to date. Tickets for Ladysmith Black Mambazo are $20-$60. For tickets or for more information, please visit www.AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. Songs From A Zulu Farm, released on February 1, 2011, is a collection of South African children’s songs filled with lessons and sentiments that members of the group would have heard and sung themselves as children growing up on Zulu farms. Of the album Ladysmith founder and frontman Joseph Shabalala has said, “These are songs from the earliest time in our lives. When we sing these songs, we're singing from our personal history. We hope that these songs sung to South African children can be enjoyed by families in many other places in the world.” In 2010, Ladysmith Black Mambazo celebrated forty years of joyous and uplifting music that marries the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music.

This Little Light of Mine ABOUT LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO South Africa’s Five Time GRAMMY Award winning singing group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, was founded in the early 1960s by Joseph Shabalala, a teenage Zulu farm boy living on the lands just outside the small town of Ladysmith. The groups name represents a combination of references: Ladysmith, Joseph’s hometown, honors his family history; Black for the black oxen he worked with and the strongest of farm animals symbolizes the strength of the group’s vocal singing and the Zulu word mambazo for chopping axe, a symbol of the group’s vocal ability.

On Friday, March 31, 2006, at 11:00 a.m., you will attend the SchoolTime performance by South Africa’s most renowned male a cappella ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo at Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. Founded in the early 1960s by South African visionary singer and activist Joseph Shabalala, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is considered a national treasure in their native country. They have revolutionized traditional South African choral-group singing with their distinctive version of isicathamiya (Is-cot-a-MEE-ya), the powerfully uplifting songs of Zulu mine workers during the apartheid era. This study guide will prepare your students for their fi eld trip to Zellerbach Hall. Your students can actively participate at the performance by: • OBSERVING the skill and harmony of the artists working together. • LISTENING to the words of songs and sounds instruments that accompany the performance. • THINKING ABOUT the freedom of expression that this art form allowed Black people living under apartheid. • REFLECTING on the history and culture of South Africa. We look forward to seeing you at Zellerbach Hall! Sincerely, Laura Abrams Rachel Davidman Director Education Programs Administrator Education & Community Programs About Cal Performances and SchoolTime The mission of Cal Performances is to inspire, nurture and sustain a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts. Cal Performances, the performing arts presenter of the University of California, Berkeley, fulfi lls this mission by presenting, producing and commissioning outstanding artists, both renowned and emerging, to serve the University and the broader public through performances and education and community programs.

With a deep respect for both their cultural and personal history, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is ever-evolving with an eye toward a long musical legacy. Since the world discovered their powerful a cappella vocals from Paul Simon’s Graceland album, the original members have welcomed a younger generation in their mission, passing along the tradition of storytelling and spreading a message of peace, love, and harmony to millions of people the world over. The younger members, led by the four sons of group founder Joseph Shabalala, who joined the group almost 25 years ago, have infused the group with a youthful energy and the promise of a bright future. It was Nelson Mandela who anointed the group “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors to the world,” a designation the members carry with them with the highest honour. In 2017, the group released two albums that both were nominated for Grammy Awards, a first for a world music group. On Songs of Peace & Love For Kids & Parents, Ladysmith Black Mambazo shares their uplifting message with audiences of all ages through their music and the stories behind the songs. Their second album of 2017, Shaka Zulu Revisited, celebrated the 30th anniversary of their first Grammy Award-winning album, and fittingly won Best World Music Album in 2018.
