* LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO, VUSI MAHLASELA, Celebrate Brooklyn, Prospect Park Bandshell, Ninth Street and Prospect Park West, (718) 855-7882, extension 45. A double bill of redoubtable South African musicians. The 10-man choir Ladysmith Black Mambazo is one of South Africa's long-running musical treasures, melding a tradition of Zulu harmony with imported gospel and soul. In the group's dynamic ''stalking style,'' Joseph Shabalala's companionable tenor voice hovers above the group's resonant, bass-heavy harmonies, which build from a cavernous hush to fervent, driving peaks. Vusi Mahlathela was one of the most important songwriters of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, not just for his political courage but for his sterling voice and for three-chord rockers that make earnest sentiments bounce. Tomorrow night at 7:30; a $3 donation is requested. (Pareles).  06/18/04
