World music talent comes no finer than that from the Shabalala family. The Shabalala family from eMnambithi is a music dynasty. Shabalala Rhythm consisting of Sibongiseni and Thamsanqa Shabalalawas originally formed in 1998, the duo form the core of this hot, maskandi act. Already singing with the Ladysmith Black Mambazo on a full-time basis, the brothers met with Durban guitarist Maqhinga Radebe and started laying down some maskandi-style tracks.
