Ladysmith Black Mambazo set to release 'Songs From A Zulu Farm'
THE REVERED South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo have a new album
released through Proper Records on 7th February. 'Songs From A Zulu
Farm' features songs that older members of the group would have heard
and sung themselves as kids growing up on Zulu farms in the 1940s and
50s. Said the group's leader Joseph Shabalala about the inspiration
behind the album, "Your roots are who you are. It is very common for
people to move back to their childhood home later in life. This is
true for many people I know. I go home to see the sights I've known
since I was a baby. I see that field and I see my father and my mother
standing with me as a little boy. I love going home because it is just
that.home."
