MUSIC IS MY LIFE: Joseph Shabalala and Ladysmith Black Mambazo (18)

• Advance Tickets – £7

Dir. Mpumi “Supa” Mbele / South Africa / 2022 / 1hr 30mins / UK Premiere

An engaging account of the life of Joseph Shabalala and his rise to international fame with his band Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The film covers the singer’s life, from his early years in rural South Africa to the band’s global success in the wake of their contributions to Paul Simon’s Graceland, which, despite breaking rank with the cultural boycott, went on to become one of South Africa’s most loved albums. The film also chronicles the complex history of isicathamiya music, in terms of both the political and musical forces which helped to form it.
