Always With Us, 2014
The album this track comes from is a tribute to the group's founder's wife, Nellie Shabalala, who was murdered by a masked gunman. It blends the women's voices of Nellie's group with Joseph Shabalala's typically male-only group. This adds a nice counterpoint to the tenor blend of Ladysmith; this particular track sounds almost like a conversation, punctuated by clicks and whoops. The vocal control and harmonies flow over the ear like honey. Not Sweet Honey in the Rock; that's a different group.
