INTRO: 

Ladysmith Black Mambazo has collaborated with everyone from Dolly 
Parton to George Clinton to Kermit the Frog. But the group first reached 
large audiences outside of South Africa performing with Paul Simon. 
He invited the group to sing on his Graceland album.
 
The leader of Ladysmith Black Mambazo is Joseph Shabalala. He grew 
up in the South African town of Ladysmith.  He says his music has 
been inspired by Zulu dances, and by the chirps and trills that farmers 
from his hometown use to call their oxen. 

This is how he describes his music ... in his own words ...


SHORT MIX:
TAPE IN:  "In Africa as a whole  ..."
TAPE OUT: (ends with singing). Last spoken words: "...come to Ladysmith. It's beautiful."


FULL MIX:
