创立50年南非土著阿卡贝拉“天团”首度中国巡演
他们的歌声伴曼德拉走过“黑暗岁月”
南非国宝级文化大使四度问鼎格莱美
“他们的天籁歌声与原始舞步让人难忘，他们向世界传播欢乐与博爱更让人肃然起敬。”
——保罗·西蒙（美国乐坛传奇歌手，代表作The Sounds of Silence、Scarborough Fair等）
“种族隔离”曾是南非一段黑暗的历史，南非已故领导人、人权精神领袖曼德拉曾因领导抗争运动下狱27年。1990年，曼德拉出狱，他对媒体说，是雷村黑牛斧头合唱团的音乐和当中强有力的和平信息在狱中陪伴了他。1993年，曼德拉获诺贝尔和平奖，他邀请合唱团成员与他一起出席在奥斯陆举行的颁奖典礼。次年5月，曼德拉又邀请合唱团在其总统就职典礼上献唱。合唱团一直秉承着曼德拉精神，在世界各地为爱与和平而歌唱。
Ladysmith Black Mambazo，简称LBM（雷村黑牛斧头合唱团），成立于上世纪60年代，是南非最著名的土著合唱团体。他们的外形虽然粗犷，歌唱却以纯朴旋律与清澈和声著称，是全球唱片销量最大的非洲音乐组合。乐队由10个非洲黑人组成，表演的是最原始的非洲音乐。合唱团成立至今已灌录了四十张唱片，销量高达六百万张。
1988-2009年间，雷村黑牛斧头合唱团14次提名格莱美奖，4度问鼎。合唱团曾经和多位世界各地的乐人合作，如莎拉·麦克劳兰、保罗·麦卡特尼、保罗·西蒙等，在迈克尔·杰克逊的《Moon Walker》MV中参与演出，还曾为多部电影配音，包括迪士尼的《狮子王续集》、马龙·白兰度的《血染的季节》、肖恩·康纳利的《群英救地球》等。2010年南非世界杯闭幕式上，合唱团献唱歌曲《雨，雨，雨》展现非洲风情。
关于团名Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Ladysmith是合唱团创始人约瑟夫·沙巴拉拉的故乡，位于德班和约翰内斯堡之间的一个小农村；
Black指的是强壮的公牛，农业耕作少不了它们；
Mambazo在祖鲁语中的意思是斧头，象征着合唱团能pk掉任何一个音乐对手的气势。

Ladysmith Black Mambazo was founded in the early 1960s by Joseph Shabalala. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown; Black being a reference to the oxen, the strongest of all farm animals; and Mambazo, the Zulu word for chopping axe, a symbol of the group’s ability to “chop down” any singing rival who might challenge them.
A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract－the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than fifty recordings, fifteen Grammy Award nominations and those four Grammy Award statues. Their philosophy in the studio is as much about preservation of musical heritage as it is about entertainment.
Apartheid, the South African social system forced upon the country’s black majority to keep the white minority government in power, was a dividing force in many ways. The musicians and artists of South Africa took two paths of resistance. Some sang songs with powerful messages of revolution against the horrors of apartheid. Others, like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, followed a path of peaceful protest. Joseph Shabalala, following the ways of protest that Martin Luther King Jr used in the USA, wrote songs of hope and a better tomorrow. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison, in 1990, he named Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s singing as one of the powerful messages of peace he listened to while in jail. In fact, when Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 he brought Ladysmith Black Mambazo with him to Oslo Norway to receive his award.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo carries a message of Peace, Love and Harmony as they travel the world year after year. They bring this message, in song and dance, to every theater they perform in. We hope you will join them as they sing their message.
