Ladysmith Black Mambazo's 'Wise Elder' Kicks the Bucket at 77 - Another One Bites the Dust?
Albert Mazibuko, a dude from some singing group you've probably never heard of (unless you're really into Paul Simon), shuffled off this mortal coil.
So, Albert Mazibuko, some guy from Ladysmith Black Mambazo (sounds like a disease, TBH), has croaked at the ripe old age of 77. Apparently, he was the 'wise elder' of the group. Wise in what? Singing really high notes? Sounds kinda gay to me. Whatever.
This 'iconic South African group' (says who? CNN?) won a bunch of Grammys. Grammys are as legit as Hunter Biden's laptop repair shop, so who cares? They were also on Paul Simon's 'acclaimed' Graceland album. Remember when everyone thought Paul Simon was cool? Cringe.
The group posted some touchy-feely BS on Facebook about Mazibuko being 'kind to a fault' and a 'saint'. Yeah, okay. And I'm the Queen of England. He 'loved traveling the world, spreading the mission and music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo'. Translation: He liked getting paid to sing and see the sights. Who wouldn't?
He grew up in some town called uMnambithi (try saying that five times fast) and dropped out of school to be a farmhand. Probably should've stayed on the farm. Less singing, more dirt. His cousin started the group in 1960 and eventually roped him in. Nepotism, folks. It's everywhere.
They fused Zulu songs with some weird a cappella thing. Sounds like something you'd hear at a woke college campus. Apparently, they got a recording contract after a radio performance in 1970. Those were the days when radio stations actually played music and record labels weren't run by woke scolds.
Their album 'Amabutho' was 'Africa's first gold-selling album'. Big deal. It's Africa. They achieved 'global recognition' after Paul Simon used them. See? Told ya he was relevant (for a brief moment in history).
So, yeah, another old dude dies. Happens every day. The planet keeps spinning. The libs keep crying. And the price of gas keeps going up. Stay vigilant, patriots. The woke mind virus is real, and it's spreading faster than Joe Biden's dementia.
Let's be real, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is probably just another DEI initiative for the music industry at this point. Gotta check those diversity boxes, even if the music is kinda mid. The whole thing is sus, I'm just sayin'.
Anyways, RIP to the old guy. May his voice rest in peace... or not. Whatever. Get back to work, snowflakes. Time to MAGA!
