Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the Grammy Award winning vocal group that has conquered nations in it's own way with a joyous and spiritually charged brand of vocal music and native choreography, pays tribute to this historical icon with their new release, ILEMBE: HONORING SHAKA ZULU. ILEMBE celebrates not only Shaka Zulu but the sense of perseverance, creativity and pride that he has inspired in generations of descendants. The album title translates "The Greatest Warrior" and either directly or indirectly, each of the tracks speaks to Shaka's rare combination of attributes and how they resonate in contemporary society- not just for South Africans, but the world in general.
