Sixteen Time Grammy Nominated Ladysmith Black Mambazo Bring Their Music to the Hudson Valley

Ladysmith Black Mambazo keeping South African traditional singing alive at the historic Paramount

In 2014 Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African a cappella group made famous worldwide from Paul Simon’s Graceland album, was awarded their fourth Grammy Award for the CD Singing for Peace Around The World. This was not just a title for their CD but a statement of the group’s career mission. It was Nelson Mandela who designated Ladysmith Black Mambazo “South Africa’s Cultural Ambassadors to the world.” It’s a title the group members hold quite dearly to their hearts. They have been celebrating Mandela’s message of peace at every concert they perform.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been nominated for sixteen Grammy Awards (to accompany the previously mentioned four wins), recorded with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Josh Groban, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlan as well as many more and have become the most recognized World Music and African performers.

The Paramount Hudson Valley Theater is the perfect setting to feature Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The scenic beauty of the Hudson Valley draws thousands of hikers and nature enthusiasts alike much like the beauty of South Africa; Ladysmith represents to the younger generation the epic of hope and peace.
