Ladysmith Black Mambazo is set to
collaborate with American jazz saxophonist, Kirk Whalum.
Kirk, who is also an acclaimed songwriter,
toured with the late Whitney Houston. He also performed the tenor saxophone
solo on Whitney’s hit single, I will
always love you.
The four-time Grammy Award winners will perform
the song with Kirk at a concert planned for Durban later this year.
The group’s manager, Xolani Majozi, told Sunday World they also just collaborated with legendary Zimbabwean musician Oliver
Mtukudzi.
“We have done remarkable collaborations
with the world’s greatest artists, including Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Paul
Simon, Salif Keita and the late Michael Jackson, to name just a few,” he told
the publication.
