My first introduction to World Music/CRASHarts was in 1994. Of course, I had been attending concerts presented by this new organization called “World Music” as I was actively involved in the world music genre through my own performing group, LIBANA. (www.libana.com)   The exposure, at that time, to international artists from Africa, the British Isles, Eastern Europe, and various other parts of the world provided an excellent initiation into music and dance from the far corners of the world. 

Ladysmith Black Mambazo: Poised to Continue Another 50 Years!

This year, Ladysmith Black Mambazo celebrates more than 50 years of making joyous music! The first time I saw them was when they performed on "Saturday Night Live" with Paul Simon many, many years ago.  I joined the World Music/CRASHarts team back in the early 1990s and have had the pleasure of seeing them live now more times than I can count.  They never fail to touch my heart and uplift my spirit.
