It was Paul Simon who first brought the Zulu a cappella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo to prominence by making extensive use of their African rhythms on his enormously successful Graceland album. This 17-track compilation includes that record's performance of 'Homeless' as well as tracks from Shaka Zulu, Journey Of Dreams and Two Worlds, albums which saw LBM become internationally renowned in their own right. Their elemental, heartfelt chants are impeccably worthy, and as such, become just a little dull after a while. Still, in a music world of teen pop fodder and indie chinless wonders, the sheer natural joy of these recordings feels like a breath of fresh air.
