About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Best known in America for their collaboration with Paul Simon on his albums "Graceland" and "Rhythm Of The Saints," Ladysmith Black Mambazo now offer this new album for children of ceremonial dances and music of the Zulu people. Enthusiastic narration is provided by Fudugazi, and an old troubadour tortoise played by popular South African performer, producer and director Gcina Mhlophe. Audiences of any age will be fascinated by this magical musical adventure. ~ MusD, All Music Guide All Music Guide

March 12, 2009: I am a 60 year old African, living in California. I have enchanted listeners from toddler to geriatric with my copy of this CD. Ladysmith Black Mambazo's music is superlative, the narration clear and pleasant and the stories universal. You cannot make a mistake by purchasing this CD.
