Album Review

It is only fitting that Ladysmith Black Mambazo introduced the world to the beauty and intricacy of Black South African harmony singing, the extraordinary style known generically as mbube. Ladysmith has been the preminent mbube group for some twenty years. Each track on this collection is a unique musical moment which reveals Ladysmith Black Mambazo's special genuis and the breathtaking beauty of their deep, rich harmonies. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
