If you haven't yet heard, or seen on the TV, we recorded a song with Josh Groban for his next CD. Josh's manager, Brian Avnet, called our manager, Mitch Goldstein, and told him that Josh wanted to record a South African song called "Weeping" and he really wanted us singing on the song.
We met Josh in New York, at Sony Studios, and we began recording the song. It's beautiful! We met up again when we were in California and finished the recording. While we were in the studio, the TV show Good Morning America came in and filmed us and Josh and interviewed him with Joseph. It was on their show a few weeks ago. We're very excited for the song to come out. Should be in October.

I love Josh Groban! I didn't hear about you guys until that song. No wait...I did hear you guys on 'Graceland' but didn't really pay attention until Josh mentioned it. You guys are great! I love the song 'Weeping' and 'Lullaby' that you did with Josh.

I knew of the Graceland album, but hadn't had the pleasure to hear Ladysmith Black Mambazo until Josh Groban's Awake album. I am truly touched by the music and the blending of styles is incredible. The collaboration is surely one that will be heard all over the world, and I'm thrilled for both Josh and LSBM since the two songs recorded on Josh's album are truly unique and incredibly beautiful and moving. Thanks to Josh for bringing LSBM to my ears and as a result I am on their website learning more about them and their incredible journey throughout these many years. Good Luck to you all and I hope to see you in the future! TJ in KC.

I've heard the new Cd Awake from Josh Groban and it's Beautiful.
The songs Weeping and Lullaby are so good.
So nice to hear Ladysmith Black Mambazo sing with Josh Groban.
I wish you could make a full Cd with Josh Groban.

I have appreciated your music from South Africa for many years and I am looking forward to your collaboration with Josh Groban on his next CD. Thank you Mr. Shabalala for bringing us great music from the continent!

My daughter is an American Sign Language interpreter and she is also a singer. She can perform sign language to the songs. I noticed there weren't any interpreters for the hard of hearing/deaf on stage during the performance. Have you ever considered doing this? I would be happy to send you a demo dvd of her work.
