(Cambridge, MA) With the power of gospel and the precision of Broadway, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is the undisputed king of mbube, South African a cappella singing. The group came together in the early 1960s and continues to thrill audiences around the world with its strong, proud melodies harmonized in layers of call and response.

In 2017, Ladysmith Black Mambazo released two albums that were both nominated for GRAMMY Awards, a first for a world music group. Songs of PEACE & LOVE for Kids & Parents Around The World was nominated for Best Children’s Album. It is very important to the group that their message of peace and love be passed from generation to generation. By recording songs of peace that parents can teach their children, the group hopes to continue this message for decades to come. Their second album of 2017, Shaka Zulu Revisited, was nominated for Best World Music Album.
It is with the deepest gratitude that the members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo accept these nominations, which mark their 18th & 19th GRAMMY Award nominations during the past 30 years. Ladysmith Black Mambazo has received GRAMMY Awards four times: in 1988, 2004, 2009, and 2013.
