Wenyukela raise your spirit higher by ladysmith black mambazo


Raise Your Spirit Higher is an album by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was released on 27 January 2004 and was a North American re-release of the group's latest album, Wenyukela (Raise Your Spirit Higher) of 2003. The album was expected to have (and it did have) a solemn touch (it was the first album release after the murder of leader Joseph Shabalala's wife Nellie, in May 2002).
