LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO: "Long Walk to Freedom"
By Glenn Whipp, Staff Writer U-Entertainment
(Heads Up)The South African vocal group became known to audiences 20 years ago when Paul Simon used their intricate harmonies on his mega-selling "Graceland." This album commemorates that anniversary, pairing Mambazo with guest stars (Sarah McLachlan, Taj Mahal among them) on a dozen new recordings of some of the group's best-known songs. Not all the collaborations fly, but the album's best moments - Emmylou Harris soaring through a gospel medley and the stirring "Shosholoza," featuring a summit of South African artists - are potent reminders of the vocal power and emotional punch of this singular cultural force. 02/10/06 >> go there
