Spivey Hall Debut
Sold Out, call for waitlist
Twelve-time Grammy Award nominee Ladysmith Black Mambazo proudly represents the traditional culture of South Africa. Regarded as the country's cultural emissaries at home and around the world, they are "melding a tradition of Zulu harmony with imported gospel and soul" (The New York Times). Ladysmith, already blazing musical trails in South Africa, was brought to international prominence by Paul Simon, who famously included them on his mega-hit album, Graceland. Simon remarked of the group that "it isn't merely the grace and power of their dancing or the beauty of their singing that rivets the attention, but the sheer joy and love that emanates from their being." Their high-energy a cappella singing and lively dancing are a wonder to behold, and their appearance marks one of Spivey Hall's most highly anticipated world-music events ever.
