The performance brings together South African male choral harmonies and British female a cappella vocals. Recording information Detail Information Song The Lion Sleeps Tonight Alternative title Mbube Artists Ladysmith Black Mambazo & The Mint Juleps Year 1990 Genre A cappella / Mbube Original composer Solomon Linda Performance length Approximately 4:33 Why this version is special It brings the song back towards its South African roots while introducing a different vocal arrangement. Rather than relying on instruments, the performance showcases the power of human voices, harmonies and vocal arrangements. It is also an interesting musical meeting between South African and British vocal traditions. @Ladysmith Black Mambazo #ladysmithblackmambazo #mbube #solomonlinda
