Background information
The traditional music sung by Ladysmith Black Mambazo is called
ISICATHAMIYA (Is-Cot-A-Me-Ya). It was born in the mines of South Africa.
Black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and
their families. Poorly housed and paid worse, they would entertain
themselves, after a six-day week, by singing songs into the wee hours
every Sunday morning. Cothoza Mfana they called themselves, "tip toe guys",
referring to the dance steps choreographed so as to not disturb the camp
security guards. When miners returned to the homelands, the tradition
returned with them. There began a fierce, but social, competition held
regularly and a highlight of everyone's social calendar. The winners were
awarded a goat for their efforts and, of course, the adoration of their fans.
These competitions are held even today in YMCA assembly halls and church
basements throughout Zululand South Africa.
The name LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO came about as a result of winning every
singing competition in which the group entered. "Ladysmith" is the hometown
of the Shabalala family; "Black" references the black oxen, considered to be
the strongest on the farm. The Zulu word "Mambazo" refers to an ax - symbolic
of the group's ability to "chop down" the competition. So good were they that
after a time they were forbidden to enter the competitions but welcomed, of
course, to entertain at them.
Their first album release for the United States, "Shaka Zulu", was produced
by Simon Garfunkel and won the Grammy Award in 1987 for Best Traditional Folk Recording. Download: vip-file.com:
