About Isicathamiya
A cappella Zulu choral music that emerged from the mines and hostels of South Africa. Isicathamiya (meaning 'to walk softly') is built on tight harmonies and gentle stepping choreography. Ladysmith Black Mambazo brought it to the world through their collaboration with Paul Simon on Graceland.
