LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO (Saturday) This great South African vocal group, which introduced so much of the world to Zulu singing, is in the midst of transition. On Wednesday Joseph Shabalala, its 65-year-old founder, made a vague statement about retiring, saying that he would hand the reins over to his son Thamsanqa. No date was given, but this may very well be Mr. Shabalala’s last tour. At 8 p.m., B. B. King Blues Club & Grill, 237 West 42nd Street, Manhattan, (212) 997-4144, bbkingblues.com; $41.50.
