'The best of 'Ladysmith Black Mambazo - The Star and Wiseman'

Polygram CD no: 5652982

Ladysmith Black Mambazo is an all-male singing group from the province of Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa. Although very well-known in their own country for many years, they have achieved wider fame relatively recently through their co-operation with Paul Simon on his Graceland album of 1986, and lately through the Heinz television adverts which feature the title track from this album. Rugby Union fans will also remember their contribution to the 1995 World Cup theme tune 'World in Union', which is also included.
