Ladysmith Black Mambazo – Live


Live –
Ladysmith Black Mambazo 

For more than three decades, the story of Ladysmith Black Mambazo has
been just as much about physicality and choreography as it has been about
brilliant vocal harmonies. For this GRAMMY-winning a cappella group that merges
South African music and dance traditions with Christian
messages of compassion, love and global harmony, the music alone is only half
the story. Simply put, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has to be seen to be understood.
Heads Up offers a visual glimpse of these icons of South African music and
dance with Ladysmith
Black Mambazo Live
. Recorded in Akron,
Ohio, in 2008, the DVD captures not only
fourteen songs performed on the stage of EJ Thomas Hall at the University of Akron, but also forty minutes of
in-depth interviews with founder, leader and musical director Joseph Shabalala
and other members of the group.
