The original track is on their album “Shaka Zulu”, came out in 1988 or thereabouts. Great stuff, if you’re a fan of traditional Zulu choral singing.

Venture Bros. has ruined Ladysmith Black Mambazo for me forever. I cannot read that name or see their albums without thinking of the episode which I will not name nor quote for fear of starting a dreaded quote mountain cascade. But that is one of my favorite ads from the ancient 1990’s.

I remember being reminded of The Lion King after seeing these.

No, Ladysmith Black Mambazo were famous in their own right. They first became really famous by being guests on Paul Simon’s Graceland album.

I used to love to sing along with these. It was fun to try and sing the different voices each time.

Somehow I also knew the singers were the same people who did the opening theme to “Coming to America”. Thank goodness for the modern internet where we can finally find out who it was, and even buy their songs

This seems to be during the Bobby McFerrin fad. Least it reminds me of some of his stuff.
