Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Shaka Zulu .gif) By Richard Gehr
The phrase "Time to meditate," as crooned by Ladysmith Black
Mambazo in the song "Hello My Baby," might well be the most
exquisitely sung line in all recorded music. Tastefully produced by Paul
Simon following the success of Graceland, 1987's Shaka Zulu
finds Ladysmith harmonizing as sweetly in English as they do in their
native Zulu tongue (conveniently translated here). In addition to
Christian and courting songs, Shaka's most interesting tunes
provide glimpses into tribal culture. As Ladysmith observe in "Yibo
Labo (These Are the Guys)": "There usually are problems with
secret lovers / The elders never approve."
