Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The phrase "Time to meditate," as crooned by Ladysmith Black Mambazo in the song "Hello My Baby", might well be the most exquisitely sung line in all recorded music. Tastefully produced by Paul Simon following the success of Graceland, 1987's Shaka Zulu finds Ladysmith harmonising as sweetly in English as they do in their native Zulu tongue (conveniently translated here). In addition to Christian and courting songs, Shaka's most interesting tunes provide glimpses into tribal culture. As Ladysmith observe in "Yibo Labo (These Are the Guys)": "There usually are problems with secret lovers / The elders never approve." --Richard Gehr


CD Description

1987's SHAKA ZULU was released in the wake of Ladysmith Black Mambazo's appearance on Paul Simon's GRACELAND album, which had brought the group a certain amount of attention in the United States. Ladysmith had already been recording and performing since the early '70s in their native South Africa, and SHAKA ZULU perfectly represented the unique blend of traditional Zulu music and Christian choral sounds they'd been perfecting throughout the course of their career. Still, SHAKA ZULU was a refinement of the group's distinct style: withPaul Simon in the producer's chair, and a Warner Brothers budget, Ladysmith made their most polished and beautifully crafted record up to that point. Also, the fact that many of the songs were in English further heightened their international appeal, which was already riding high on the success of GRACELAND. Overall, this is a very fine record, and one of Ladysmith's commercial high points.
