Raise Your Spirit Higher (2003 album)

Raise Your Spirit Higher - Wenyukela is an album by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was released on 5 March 2003 and was the British release of the group's South African album of the same name. It was later re-released in North America in 2004. The album was expected to have (and it did have) a solemn touch (it was the first album release after the murder of leader Joseph Shabalala's wife Nellie, in May 2002).
