Five-time Grammy Award winning group Ladysmith Black Mambazo brings the culmination of their SA Legacy Tour to Pretoria’s State Theatre in December. The tour, that started in May 2023 at The Joburg Theatre, has journeyed to Durban’s Playhouse and Cape Town’s Artscape Theatre – bringing their beautiful isicathamiya sounds in celebration of their successes.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo was formed in the early 60s and has recorded and performed with global music icons – including Burna Boy, Josh Groban, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, The Winans, Dolly Parton and many more. The award winning group were described by President Nelson Mandela as ‘South African ambassadors of culture and heritage worldwide’.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo spend most of their year performing abroad, which makes this tour a special occasion for their SA fans, who have long supported them.
Says group member Sibongiseni Shabalala, “The Ladysmith Black Mambazo Legacy tour has been a fantastic experience. Connecting to audiences around the country was incredible, as well as showcasing talent we have discovered through the Ladysmith Black Mambazo Mobile Academy program. Through this program, we have found an incredible talent that we recorded and took worldwide during our international tours.”
