Grammys 2012 Nominees: Ladysmith Black Mambazo




The Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a South African acapella group composed only of men whose voices are so strong and solid it's gives me goosebumps when I hear them sing! This year, they get a nod for a Grammy award for Best World Music Album, for their latest opus, Songs From A Zulu Farm. Just take one listen to it and they will really blow you away.

African and Latin American musicians dominate this year's Grammy nominees for Best World Music Album. One of the nominees is Nigerian musician Femi Kuti, the eldest son of afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti. It is for his album Africa for Africa. It has a very raw, native, jungle sound with strong support from the trumpets.

Grammys 2012 Nominees: Afrocubism

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not a new band. Afrocubism has been nominated for a Grammy for Best World Music Album. They are actually the renowned Buena Vista Social Club in collaboration with some musicians from Mali - hence this fantastic collaboration and melange of Cuban and Malian music!
