South Africa’s cultural ambassadors, the five-time Grammy-winning a cappella choir Ladysmith Black Mambazo, are returning to North America with a major concert series. The Ladysmith Black Mambazo tour is an expansive headlining run with the celebrated group performing solo, often marking the 65th anniversary since Joseph Shabalala founded the ensemble.
