Ladysmith Black Mambazo To Release An Album Dedicated To Children

Legendary multi-award winning group Ladysmith Black Mambazo stated in an interview with TshisaLive that it will soon release an album that is dedicated to children.  This project is intended to prevent loss of morality from children in societies. “It is important to tell stories to children when they are young. Stories about how to behave and act in certain situations. These stories give you inspiration and help you in life” they said. The album’s title is Songs of Peace & Love for Kids & Parents Around the World, it will release first internationally before it does locally towards the end of September.

“We have to look at our current generation and if we feel that they are not behaving like we did; we are failing as a generation because they are not being taught properly. We need to stop people from losing their values or morals because they missed out on these lessons,” said Sibongiseni Shabalala, who is part of the group and the son of the group’s founder Joseph Shabalala.

Sibongseni described the album as the one closest to their hearts and hoped that it’s powerful message and delivery would make it qualify to get a Grammy award.”Our last album was very well received and was nominated for a Grammy. This album will still keep our unique sound but be more personal so we hope that it will do the same as our previous albums and be nominated for a Grammy,” he added.
