For more than 30 years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music.  In the mid-1980s, Paul Simon incorporated Black Mambazo’s rich tenor/alto/bass harmonies into his Graceland album, a landmark recording that was influential in introducing world music to mainstream audiences. Since their 1988 Grammy win for Best Traditional Folk Album, the group has scored eight more Grammy nominations and worked with numerous artists from around the world as well as providing soundtrack material for numerous films such as Disney’s The Lion King, Part II.
