9 humble, talented, enthusiastic vocalists singing acapella and creatively moving on stage to their signature sound captivated the audience. Bravo!!
We have enjoyed this group’s music for many years but the Rialto Theater venue was very uncomfortable! Metal folding chairs were placed with no reasonable spacing between them, leaving no room for even the slightest body movement or avoiding “skin to skin” contact on either side of each seat. My husband and I had to keep our arms folded in front of us for the entire performance and chose to leave at intermission!
It was wonderful hearing them in person for the first time. The harmonies are so beautiful and the way they can change rhythms is magical to me. The links to the family and to South African history are a way to remind us of many things including the role music plays in social consciousness.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo brought us on a journey of the spirit of resilience, kindness, peace, strength, respect and love. Their music was inspiring and fun, and left us feeling better than when we entered the Rialto. It was joyfully healing. It inspired hope in humanity again.
Learned about the group through Paul Simon and wanted to experience them in person. They were amazing and I couldn't sit still in my seat! Their sound was incredible and their costumes and dancing were great. Please bring them back!
I have loved LBM since I first heard Paul Simon's Graceland album. It has been a dream bucket list to see them live, so I was so emotional I actually cried when they sang the first song. The venue was comfortable and easily accessed, with great parking. I do suggest that if the merch table is going to be cash only, that this fact be shown on the Facebook posts or tickets. I wanted to buy some shirts, but had no cash on me, so I was very disappointed. They do not sell merch on their website, I found out.
The show was really fun and interactive. The only issue was the popcorn at the venue was all the little pieces and crumbs, rather than full kernels, but that's a tiny flaw in a fun show at a nice venue.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s performance at Chandler Center for the Arts was wonderful. Vocally amazing, visually delightful and emotionally stirring. I saw them in the early nineties and knew I couldn’t miss the chance to see them again. A cultural and musical feast.
A wonderful memorable evening with a talented A Capella group from South Africa. One leaves feeling grateful that there are men like this group touring the world promoting peace and harmony with their beautiful voices. (The theatre should have been sold out!)
We took our 6 year old grandson to see Ladysmith when he was 4 and he had wanted to see them again because he loved them. He would frequently talk about seeing the group again. This concert was the gift that brought the wish to life and he loved it! (Our granddaughter did too!!!)
It was so refreshing to experience a group from another country and ethnicity at the top of their craft. LBM was above all excellent in the Zulu style of harmonious singing. Add to that their engaging stage presence and ability to connect to the audience and one has experienced a truly unique and memorable evening!
The beauty of male human voices in perfect harmony brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful and meaningful melodies with only vocal accompaniment produced a rich, layered, and textured materpiece of sound. One of the best concerts I've ever attended at my favorite venue, the Lincoln Theatre.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo provides a great show. The performance was the basically the same as the one we enjoyed a year ago at Denison University, including the jokes. The group has a wonderful heritage and the sons are doing a wonderful job of continuing their message.
LBM offers the audience the experience of outstanding novelty. This a cappella choir surprises and delights the audience with beautiful sound and “dance”. I look forward to their next visit to Columbus.
A very different experience from most of the concerts I have seen but this was such a joyous and magical time. I would highly recommend to anyone.
It was my first time at Ladysmith concert but my husband used to go every year with his friend. I didn’t really know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised at their energy, choreography and ability to entertain. Was worth every dollar and more!
From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed this show!
Beautiful harmony, impressive cheoreography, and an obvious joy in song. I really enjoyed their performance!
Soul singing right to the heart! I felt the sounds of Ladysmith to be a heart opening sound presented as a gift to the audience. At once deeply touching and fun loving, brothers in unique chorus delivered fantastic sound.
My husband and I really enjoyed Ladysmith Black Mambazos' performance at the NJPAC. The music brought back memories of the first time we listened to the Graceland album. We used to sing our hearts out at home along with the album in our families take on karaoke in our living room. Hearing and seeing the group in person was so wonderful. Their harmonics brought me to tears. The venue was great too, parked across the street, good seats. Best of all we didn't have to fight traffic in Manhattan.
