The South African choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo gained international attention through its appearance on Paul Simon’s album Graceland (1986). The polished four-part harmonies of the group have roots in a genre of male chorus music called isicathamiya. The style is associated mainly with Zulu migrant workers. While the harmonies and clean vocal quality show influences of the European choral tradition, the lyrics often address local issues such as the impact of industrialization.
