The legendary South African choral group, still led by its
indomitable founder Joseph Shabalala, first won international fame through its
work on Paul Simon’s 1986 album, Graceland,
but the group has been active for more than half a century. Today they are the
living embodiment of Zulu song, and a mobile academy of South African culture.
“It isn’t merely the grace and power of their dancing or the beauty of their
singing that rivets the attention, but the sheer joy and love that emanates
from their being.” (Paul Simon) With the soulful singer and guitarist Aurelio Martinez, the standard bearer of
Garifuna music and the first black member of Honduras’ National Congress.
