The legendary South African five-time Grammy award winning group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, will be celebrating an incredible 65-year milestone in the music industry with a special concert series at Artscape from 10 to 12 October 2025.
This event forms part of Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s national tour, with a concert that will showcase their powerful harmonies and emotive performances, promoting themes of unity, love, and hope. Audiences will enjoy a blend of timeless classics and new arrangements.
The legendary group will be sharing the stage with Abantakwethu, a Gugulethu-based cultural music group discovered by Ladysmith Black Mambazo as part of their talent discovery project.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo last performed at Artscape in 2023 for a two-day sold-out run, leaving many people asking for more. This celebrated group, renowned worldwide for their rich harmonies and deep cultural significance, has been a beacon of South African music since their formation in 1960. Their journey over the past six and a half decades has not only mirrored the evolving landscape of the country but has also significantly contributed to global music heritage.
The group has also collaborated with international music greats like Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, The Winans, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton and many others.
