More than 20 years have passed since they earned international notoriety for their unforgettable contribution to Paul Simon’s Graceland, but music has always been only half the story for these 2009 Grammy Award-winners and perennial nominees. Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been just as much about physicality and their signature, tiptoe choreography as it has been about brilliant, a cappella vocal harmonies. Their songs merge the traditional music and dance of South African miners with the sounds and sentiments of gospel. The New York Times calls it “music so insidiously penetrating that you seem to absorb it with your whole being rather than just the ears.”
