LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO

A PAGE Series Event
Page Theatre - Saint Mary's University

A musical performance by the South African vocal group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Their sound is incredible. Most people would be familiar with this group from their appearance on the Paul Simon album, Graceland.

While it is easy to listen to them again and again, their concert grew just a little long. For the most part, they stood at microphones and sang for the two hours, with very occassional movements (dance?) to very few phrases in a few songs.

I enjoyed it, as did my wife and kids (though one slept through most of it), but do wish that there was a little more than just sitting in theatre seats and listening.
