Joseph Shabalala founder of the all male acappella group of South Africa ( Ladysmith Black Mambazo) dies at 78.
In the group official Twitter handle, they wrote,
“Bhekizizwe Joseph Shabalala. Our Founder, our Teacher and most importantly, our Father left us today for eternal peace.
“We celebrate and honor your kind heart and your extraordinary life. Through your music and the millions who you came in contact with, you shall live forever,”
The South Africa government have also expressed sadness over the music maestro death which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison. In a release, they commiserated with his family and fans all over the world.
Joseph Shabalala created the all-male acapella music group in the 1960s.
He did this in the hopes of using music as a vehicle to unite South Africans during the apartheid.
The group were nominated 19 times for Grammy Award, but won 5 of the award.
The soulful Choral group gained international prominence after working with American singer and songwriter, Paul Simon.
He will be greatly missed.
