Ladysmith is a ten-man a cappella group that sings in a style generically known as "mbube." The group's sound is utterly unique, however, combining the choral music of the Christian church with Zulu rhythmic and harmonic traditions. Ladysmith was formed in 1974 by lead singer Joseph Shabalala but remained largely unknown in the West until its participation on Paul Simon's GRACELAND in 1987. Some of Ladysmith's best material, however, was recorded before this time and can be found on the group's 20-odd South African releases. CLASSIC TRACKS gathers 14 of the finest cuts from these early releases, each one a gem showcasing Ladysmith's lilting arrangements, dense rhythmic interplay, and deep, rich harmonies. A cornerstone of any world music collection.   Compilation Appearances Indestructible Beat Of Soweto Lullaby Collection Child's Celebration Of The Wor African Lullaby Brown Girl In The Ring-World M When Love Speaks African Breakbeats Vol. 2 Encore Smooth Africa Ii Exploring The Soul Rough Guide To South Africa Gospel Great Supa Exotic Voices From Africa All Star Gospel Hits Vol. 3: hymns Mflp's 20th Anniversary Collection Mflp's 20th Anniversary Lullaby Collection / Africanism Africa Deluxe:african Chilled Beats Afrique Rough Guide To African Music For Children / V Rasa: Mello Iii Tales Of South African Gospel Awake Rough Guide To South Africa (second E Golden Afrique Vol 3 Graceland Tales Of South Africa (afropop) Animal Playground Sound Of The World African Dreamland Rarities B Sides And Other Stuff Volu Jazz And The World Music Sampler Celebration Of Stars:children's Music   Associated Artists and Works Ears, Rabbit Glover, Danny Glover, Danny Rabbit Ears   Technical Info Release Date : 08/20/1990 Original Release Date : 1990 Catalog ID : 43074 Label : Shanachie Records Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 43m : 31s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00016351437426    Product Image
