Here is some information about the group from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladysmith_Black_Mambazo

"Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a male choral group from South Africa that sings in the vocal style of isicathamiya and mbube. They rose to worldwide prominence as a result of singing with Paul Simon on his album, Graceland and have won multiple awards, including three Grammy Awards.
