Ladysmith Black Mambazou, too, would Swansongs win Grammy Awards—five in all, the last in 2018 for Shaka Zulu Revisited: 30th Anniversary Celebration as Best World Music Album. They would also collaborate with the likes of Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and Mavis Staples, and appear in the Michael Jackson filmMoonwalker . They earned a Tony nomination for their score for the 1993 Broadway play The Song of Jacob Zulu, in which they performed as a chorus. And that same year, they accompanied Nelson Mandela to Oslo when he accepted his Nobel Peace Prize. Bhekizizwe Joseph Siphatimandla Mxo- veni Mshengu Bigboy Shabalala was born on Aug. 28, 1941, on a white-owned farm near the town of Ladysmith, out in the hills of KwaZulu-Natal, where his parents, Jon- athan Mluwane Shabalala and Nomandla Elina Shabalala, worked. Joseph, the eldest of eight children, left school at 12, after his father died. As a teenager, he moved to Durban to work in a textile factory and sang in local vocal groups—the Durban Choir Swansongs and The Highlanders. In 1959, he formed Ezimnyama, which he renamed Ladysmith Black Mambazo. They featured several of Shabalala’s brothers and cousins singing. The mbube and isicathamiya music that the all-male group sang originally emerged from the mining camps and industrial worksites created by migrant workers toiling far from home. Singing late into the 1947-2019 night, they established harmony singing contests to relieve their after-work boredom. These contests played a significant role in the development of traditional choral music 1941-2020 in South Africa.

  • Josh Kt Promo Package.Key
    From day one, there were three young kids literally growing up at the elbows of The Kingston Trio: Josh Reynolds, the son (and doppelganger) of Nick Reynolds. Mike Marvin, Josh’s cousin and adopted son of Nick. And Tim Gorelangton, Josh & Mike's lifetime friend and one of the only people outside the Kingston Trio with whom Nick Reynolds ever recorded. These “Sons of Nick” went on to pursue different successful careers but always remained close, playing and singing the Trio collection whenever they could. Josh became recognized as one of the world’s leading commercial producers. Mike became a Hollywood writer/ director/producer as well as a contemporary painter. Tim followed his musical destiny performing his music as well as with Mike in The Manzanita Jungle in the ‘70s. John Stewart, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie song catalogs are a major part of Tim’s repertoire. The three worked hard to balance their music and professional careers while also raising families. The unspoken hope was to someday re-unite and carry the Kingston Trio legacy to a new level. That time has come. With the rising resurgence of folk music and the Kingston Trio brand now secure in their rightful hands, Josh, Mike & Tim are able to return full-time to their first love---folk music. They have emerged onto today's music scene as The Kingston Trio 3.0. No mere tribute band, but a true musical heritage continued. Complete with striped shirts and genes. Within this new group thrives the lively joy of music performance and infectious humor that won over audiences throughout the world.

  • CHAPTER ONE John Stewart: 'Twixt Trio and Solo — What Was It Really
    CHAPTER ONE John Stewart: ’Twixt Trio and Solo — What Was It Really Like? After The Kingston Trio: John Stewart, “Quo vadis?”1 ! ! ! How long a gap was there between leaving the Trio and starting to play again? I had a year where I just wrote and tried to figure out what I was going to do. Was it going to be another group? Was I going to be solo? Would I play with another guy or a girl? I decided to sing with Buffy Ford, and we did one album for Capitol called Signals Through the Glass. The album sold 7,000 copies at the time, and I know language records that have sold more than that. We did a few concerts and club dates, but it didn’t work too well. When you have a male and female singing together, you have to have songs that complement the two. I mean, you can’t have a girl singing “July, You’re a Woman.” So, I thought to myself, if I’m going to do it, do it. I went solo, and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since and will do for as long as they let me. — Omaha Rainbow #9/Summer 1976 “John Stewart — Interviewed By Fraser Massey” Malibu, California February 12, 1976 [Emphases mine — FWK] The period between the breakup of the Kingston Trio (most sources say late 1966 or early 1967) and the release of Signals Through the Glass, John Stewart’s first “solo” career album (September 1968/Capitol Records), comprised — at the outside — only about a year and a half to two years.
