Great performance and LBM are truly inspiring and fun. Agree with previous comments about venue in terms of lighting and sightlines, but sound quality was great.Written on Mar 12 2010

The performers did not disappoint! I've loved them since Paul Simon introduced them to the world and they put on a great show at this venue. Charming, disarming, and very soulful, the voices of this group carried sound and message to everyone's heart. Worth every penny. Take your family. Public parking lot 2 blocks away by hospital.Written on Mar 12 2010

Description
A South African institution, Ladysmith Black Mambazo sparks a gentle fire to stir passions and lift sunken spirits. The all-male a cappella group began back in the early ‘60s, when Joseph Shabalala infused the unifying spirit of sacred vocal harmonies with the secular song and dance styles of South African folk traditions. But it wasn’t until 1986 that they broke through to a mass audience, through Paul Simon’s era-defining Graceland project.
Since then, the group has become known as a global ambassador for post-apartheid South Africa. They have been nominated for a stunning 13 Grammy Awards and won three, most recently in 2009 for their Heads Up release entitled Ilembe: Honoring Shaka Zulu. Wherever they perform, even huge venues are transformed into warm, traditional gathering places -- in which a crowd of strangers looks more like a room full of cherished friends.
