The original text
"Those who witnessed Steppenwolf's extraordinary 1992 presentation of "The Song of Jacob Zulu" can testify to the amazing theatrical impact of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the 11-man a cappella group whose haunting, piercing harmonies punctuated and underlined the emotions of that tragedy of apartheid." (Richard Christiansen, Tribune Chief Critic. `NOMATHEMBA' RAISES HOPES, AND FULFILLS THEM, CHICAGO TRIBUNE 10 April 1995.[1])
