NPR : Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Live in Studio 4A

This group was my first concert ever. I went with my mom when I was in fifth grade to see them at the Bass Concert Hall. I still remember their performance, because it was so dynamic. They sang and danced on the stage, and it was wonderful. I can't believe they've been around for forty years! If you're not familiar with their sound, then click on one of their songs on the NPR site. You may have heard them and not realized it, as they sang backup for songs on Paul Simon's Graceland album ("Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" and "Homeless", for example).
