HtownBillsFan Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Does anyone know what the name of the music or a group that sings music that sounds like African choral music. Not a good way to describe it, I know some was in The Lion King, it kinda sounds like african language sang in chorus. Anyway, the reason I want to know is my son (11months) seems to like it. Any help would be great. I know its a bad way of stating the question above, but I couldnt think of any other way to put it. I also heard some on the Saturday Night Live Cartoon Special (if that helps).
KRC Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I do not think it is a specific style, but here is the website for the composer of the Lion King stuff: Lebo M
UConn James Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Was it the group that sang with Paul Simon on "Graceland"?
Dan Gross Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Was it the group that sang with Paul Simon on "Graceland"? 683310[/snapback] Ladysmith Black Mombazo is the name of that group. FYI...
nick in* england Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Ladysmith Black Mombazo is the name of that group. FYI... 683480[/snapback] And they have a number of albums attributable to them in their own right - not Paul Simon.

BTW, this might be a good starter CD....has a lot of the Lebo M/et al stuff on it. If you can find the CD....try ebay...or go with some of the other stuff from the artist, per Ken's suggestion, just thought this would be 'closer' to what you're kid's used to hearing...
linksfiend Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Ladysmith Black Mombazo is the name of that group. FYI... 683480[/snapback] Ladysmith Black Mombazo was also the band referenced in that SNL cartoon

I saw the live production a couple years ago and was blown away by it. I bought the CD and I listen to it all the time. There are quite a few additional songs (not in the film version) that are absolutley beautiful. If you don't have this version, I highly recommend it.
