Scene, In the wake of tragedy, Ladysmith Black Mambazo moves on. >>
After a Ladysmith Black Mambazo show in Arizona last month, founder Joe
Shabalala reflected on his wife's murder. While no one's been arrested for
the ambush outside the couple's South African church in 2002, the group's
latest CD, Raise Your Spirit Higher: Wenyukela (which recently won a
Grammy), represents Shabalala's message of hope and unity in a troubled
world. "In my flesh, I might be angry," he says. "I might cry. I might
suspect somebody. Bad things happen, and the only thing to do is raise your
spirit higher." Ladysmith Black Mambazo performs at 8 p.m. Friday at
Cuyahoga Community College's Eastern Campus Performing Arts Center, 4250
Richmond Road in Highland Hills. Tickets are $15 to $25; call 216-241-6000.
