More than 30 years ago in a South Africa riven by apartheid, Joseph Shabalala had a vision of a new kind of music. Drawing from both Christian choral music and the rich Zulu vocal tradition, he began composing songs for Ladysmith Black Mambazo, whose version of mbube ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is the most familiar song in this hybrid style) introduced these heavenly harmonies to the world. The mesmerizing vocal swell of the group, combined with their precise choreography and humble grace, demonstrate why they've been South Africa's globetrotting ambassadors for the healing power of music. Outspoken and gifted countryman Vusi Mahlasela, who was denied a visa when he was supposed to play Prospect Park last summer, opens the show. (PS)

Note: LBM also appear at the WFC Plaza on Tue 6.29 (7:30pm).
