5.0 out of 5 stars A - "Definite Ultimate Experience", 8 May 2001
By A Customer
From a group that has been recording since 1962, "The Ultimate Experience" is just that. Real African harmony with lyrics in the native Zulu tongue mixed with modern music makes this double CD album by Ladysmith Black Mambazo the ideal choice for a relaxing encounter. Not only do Ladysmith Black Mambazo show their real talent in using the human voice in total harmony, but they also show why so many have used them as backing vocalists and feature artists. This album features artists like Dolly Parton, Paul Simon, Lou Rawls and The Lighthouse Family as well as China Black and PJ Powers. In parts, the album demonstrates the Christian faith developed by founder member Joseph Shabalala over 25 years ago. The Ultimate Collection is just as it is described and a definite ultimate experience in music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive overview, 24 Sep 2002
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
My knowledge of this group is limited, but there is a lot of great music here, if you're looking to start a collection of African music, or if (like me) you're simply looking for something different from the stuff you normally expect to hear in Europe and America.

You get plenty of straight African music (including a lot of chanting), but you also get some more familiar songs given the LBM treatment, often with interesting guests (Swing low sweet chariot with China Black, Knockin' on heaven's door with Dolly Parton, Ain't no sunshine with Des'ree, World In union' (1995) with PJ Powers, Chain gang with Lou Rawls and Once in a blue moon with the Lighthouse Family). CD2 leads off with a track from Graceland, the Paul Simon album which made them famous.

Of course, a lot of today's radio music has it's roots in Africa, and just to remind you, the second track on CD2 is Mbube, a song which, after adaptation, became variously known as Wimomeh or The lion sleeps tonight. Now you can hear it without westernisation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting., 26 Aug 2005
By Barman63 (Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is the CD that I always turn to when things aren't going so well. The sublime harmonies, the sheer joy of singing and, dare I say it, the Christianity that shones through never fails to lift my spirits.
There is music to suit all moods on this album, some well known, others that seem familiar and a few that will be new to you. This has to be one of the top 10 feel-good albums. Buy iy, you won't be disappointed.
