Chicago Tribune, "A" List Pick >>
LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO Saturday at the Fermilab Ramsey Auditorium, Pine Street and Kirk Road, Batavia. $14-$27. 630.840.2787. Just as the recent popularity of Malian music has highlighted a sonic kinship between it and Delta blues, so the sound of this groundbreaking South African a capella group has helped highlight the roots of American gospel singing in traditional Zulu choral music. Ladysmith Black Mambazi’s gorgeous new album of Zulu-gospel fusion, “Raise Your Spirit Higher” (Heads Up International), is another testament to the emotional power and intoxicating sonority of the group’s unadorned voices. 02/13/04
