This performance will be audio-described. 

Sharing a heartfelt message of love, peace, and harmony, five-time Grammy Award-winning Ladysmith Black Mambazo performs an uplifting concert showcasing traditional South African vocal styles. With richly harmonious vocals rooted in isicathamiya, a traditional music that developed in the mines of South Africa, the group has received 19 Grammy Award nominations and won multiple times. Not only has Ladysmith Black Mambazo recorded with musical legends such as Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and Dolly Parton, they earned the deep admiration and respect of former South African President Nelson Mandela, who designated the ensemble “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors to the world.” Don’t miss this uplifting, joy-filled concert that resonates long after the final note.
