New York Times Gets Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Take On Zululand

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Ladysmith Black Mambazo - the iconic South African a cappella group - taped a New York Times Popcast this past week to discuss 'Songs from a Zulu Farm' (Listen 2 Entertainment Group/Razor & Tie Entertainment), a joyous collection of traditional Zulu songs, with a modern Mambazo spin, that harks back to the members' roots.

Original member Albert Mazibuko, 2nd generation member Thami Shabalala, and long-time group manager Mitch Goldstein spoke with Larry Rohter about the importance of these songs to the group and to South African culture.

The album centers around themes of family, home, and tradition, highlighting South African folk songs passed through the generations, arranged and expanded especially for this album. Goldstein noted, "We wanted to make it more fun...it's a side of Ladysmith Black Mambazo that doesn't come across very often on their CDs."
