Singing in the traditional African American a cappella gospel style that they have been known for since the group’s inception almost 100 years ago, The Fairfield Four continue to perform original, tightly harmonized pieces and traditional favorites. Teaming up with The McCrary Sisters—frequent Bob Dylan collaborators and the daughters of Fairfield’s late leader—the two virtuosic groups show how the spirit-stirring sounds of gospel sparked the rock and R&B revolution.
Led by Nkosinathi Shabalala, son of the Grammy Award–winning legendary lead singer of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African Isicathamiya group Junior Mambazo will bring its unique a cappella style to the stage.
