Daily Tribune (Royal Oak, MI), CD Review >>
South Africa’s most recognizable a cappella ensemble, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, has released an album filled with hope for the future and deep faith.
Ladysmith’s signature sound, introduced to the American masses via Paul Simon’s “Graceland” album, remains reserved and powerful on “Raise Your Spirit Higher: Wenyukela.” The group’s smooth harmonies, topped by Joseph Shabalala’s soaring melodic voice are even more poignant; Shabalala’s wife of 30 years was murdered during the making of the record, and there is a tribute to her.
