About the Background Music

The background music on this site is a short sample of the wonderful African sounds of the famous group 'Ladysmith Black Mambazo' from their album 'Long Walk To Freedom'

Ladysmith Black Mambazo first came together in the early 1960s under the gentle guidance of sweet-voiced Joseph Shabalala. His inspiration for the group came to him in a dream in which a choir of children sang and danced. Shabalala soon transferred that dream to real life when he formed Ladysmith Black Mambazo (LBM).

Ladysmith's latest album 'Long Walk to Freedom' Has received two Grammy Award nominations'

Their albums and DVD's can be purchased worldwide form many good music stores either in the general or the world music sections.
