Ladysmith Black Mambazo, 1987.
After the huge exposure and success on Paul Simon's Graceland, particularly with Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes and Homeless, LBM really had struck gold, and the rest was history.
This album was produced by Simon,and is a full-throttle presentation of the LBM style and to a large degree, reperoire.
If you're looking for complex, developing structures you will be disappointed.
if you're anticipating the healing, soothing, balm of LBM and Joseph Shabalala's quavering lead vocal praying, seducing, laughing and encouraging...
Well, then you've come to the right place!
Rain, Rain Rain is a favourite...but it's all good!
