Ladysmith Black Mambazo Concert this Saturday Night!

I  can't wait for this Saturday night! Picture the Overlook Lodge at dusk, a warm summer breeze, and then... the vibrating harmonies of one of the most celebrated  Traditional South African performing groups EVER. Talk about a Spiritual experience...

Ladysmith Black Mambazo is going to be incredible. I have been sure to check out their performances on their website (www.mambazo.com) and was so impressed to learn that they have performed with a myriad of talented artists; Paul Simon, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlin, Josh Grobin, and Pete Seeger. Grobin has stated, "I've been a fan of theirs for as long as I can remember. Their sound is just magical."

"Magical," I can guarantee. It's an easy equation. LadySmith Black Mambazo + Sprawling Mountain locale of Belleayre Mountain + affordable and family, friendly cost = MAGIC.

Check out www.belleayremusic.org for tix and further info. Gates open at 6pm. Bring your lawn chairs and expect goosebumps (and possibly tears!) from the existential musical performance of these brilliant men.
