Beloved South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, with one of “the most distinctive and uplifting choral sounds around” (NPR), visits with its unforgettable harmonies and inspiring message. Since its launch to global stardom on Paul Simon’s Graceland album in 1986, the group has won five Grammys and sung for millions across continents. Born from struggle under its country’s apartheid regime, Ladysmith sings songs of freedom, love, and peace, and Nelson Mandela famously cited the group’s music as a source of strength and inspiration during his imprisonment, later calling them “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors to the world” (Theaterscene).
The Program Book will be available approximately one week before the performance.
