Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Raise Your Spirits Higher
Heads Up International

What can I say about Ladysmith Black Mambazo to add to their already impressive and deserved reputation? Known for their collaboration with popular artists like Paul Simon, the bouncy, acapella African group reach into their souls for an album of Gospel and inspirational songs on Raise Your Spirits Higher. The band is led by Joseph Shabalala, a Zulu who converted to Christianity in the late 1950's. The ten-member band now includes four of his sons. The final track of the album is a touching English-language tribute in hip-hop style by some of Shabalala's grandsons to his late wife Nellie, who was tragically murdered in 2002. This album will not only raise your spirit higher, but sometimes move you feet to dancing, your mouth to singing, and your eyes to tears. 03/08/04 >> go there
