South African vocal powerhouse, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, play their first UK tour for many years. Since they shot to global stardom on Paul Simon's Graceland album, Mambazo have been recognised as one of the world's great vocal groups.
Mambazo sing powerful, uplifting songs. Nelson Mandela called them "South Africa's cultural ambassadors", and this tour will celebrate Black History Month.
Their special guest is Cameroon-born guitarist and singer, Muntu Valdo, an electrifying presence who combines loops with the blues.
