Umthombo Wamanzi

Umthombo Wamanzi is an album by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The album (#BL 353) was recorded in May 1982, and released the next month. Whilst the group's previous output had been - for the most part - entirely composed by lead singer and founder Joseph Shabalala, Umthombo Wamanzi featured primarily traditional Zulu hymns re-arranged by Shabalala, such as "Uzube Nami Baba" and "Ungikhumbule".

gollark: It is entirely valid to say "we don't know". It's not valid to say "we don't know, so let's just postulate yet ANOTHER step in this process with no evidence".
gollark: A god of some sort *could* exist, but there isn't good evidence for them.
gollark: I mean, most of the "gods" we think about are suspiciously humanlike. And human minds are complicated. The universe is complicated, but easier to describe; people have it down onto T-shirts now (described in very dense mathy notation).
gollark: ???
gollark: "Why is there the universe and not nothing?" Sure. But then "why god and not nothing?".
