Isicathamiya

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.
