Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Ladysmith Black Mambazo Grand Ballroom October 10, 2010 7:30PM The traditional music sung by Ladysmith Black Mambazo is called ISICATHAMIYA (Is-Cot-A-Me-Ya). It was born in the mines of South Africa. Black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Poorly housed and paid worse, they would entertain themselves, after a six-day week, by singing songs into the wee hours every Sunday morning. Legendary Ladysmith Black Mambazo presents a night of traditional South African music that is regarded as the country's cultural emissary at home and around the world.
