Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Death: Joseph Shabalala, Founder of Ladysmith Black Mambazo


I get these from the Hope I Die Before I Get Old site.

JOSEPH SHABALALA, 78

Died February 11, 2020

Singer, band leader and founder of the choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

From South Africa.  Was born in the town of Ladysmith.  I was introduced to his music on Paul Simon's "Graceland" album which really blew me away with their sound on several songs.

Of course, that "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes"  and "Homeless."  Wow!!
