Billboard, CD Review >>
By Anastasia Tsioulcas
Twenty years ago, Joseph Shabalala and his Ladysmith Black Mambazo introduced an international public to South African vocal music, thanks to their collaboration with Paul Simon on his album "Graceland." To mark the occasion, the group offers this joyful retrospective, revisiting a wide span of favorites. The songs are infused with new life courtesy of a host of guest artists, from Natalie Merchant to Taj Mahal. Aficionados will notice that the group rerecorded two songs included here ("Homeless" and "Amazing Grace") just last year, for the album "No Boundaries." Nevertheless, each tune receives rejuvenation thanks to (respectively) Sarah McLachlan and Emmylou Harris: Their heartfelt turns prove just how much Ladysmith has come to be cherished during the past two decades. 01/17/06 >> go there
