  • 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.

  • Audiences Will Dance in Their Seats When the Grammy® Award-Winning
    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.

  • Concert Review: Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the Strathmore Music
    Concert Review: Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the Strathmore Music Center January 28, 2013 by Elizabeth Bruce More than fifty years after Joseph Shabalala—then a young farm boy turned factory worker–founded Ladysmith Black Mambazo, this renowned South African a cappella ensemble continues to transport audiences worldwide with its signature brand of soft, sung eloquence. A blend of two South African musical forms, isicathamiya and its precursor mbube, with Christian gospel music, Ladysmith Black Mambazoʼs music gained national prominence in their homeland decades ago, as they repeatedly swept the isicathamiya competitions that were held in the menʼs worker hostels in Durban and Johannesburg. In fact, they so dominated these contests that they eventually were disallowed from further competition though welcomed to perform purely as artists. This virtuosity of Ladysmith Black Mambazo was on full display at Strathmore Hall as this multigenerational, 9- member ensemble enthralled the audience with their symphonic a cappela sound, their voices rising and falling like the string section of a world-class orchestra. Primarily led with quiet authority by Founder Shabalala, the distinct personas of each member of the ensemble emerged over the course of the two-hour concert. The concert encompassed at least 18 songs, including such well-known selections as the standard bearer of the mbube form, “Wimoweh,” [The Lion Sleeps Tonight], which began the concert, delighting the audience with its whispering familiarity. Each of the other songs, from the poetic ”Rain, Rain, Beautiful Rain” to the amusing “Yangiluma Inkukhu [the Biting Chicken]” and the lyric “Yinhle Lentombi [This Lady Is Beautiful],” continued the felicity of rapport between the ensemble and the audience.
