Wenyukela raise your spirit higher by ladysmith black mambazo


Wenyukela is an album by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was released on 5 March 2003 and was re-released in North America under the English title Raise Your Spirit Higher on Headsup International. 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).

Contents

The album (CDGMP 40892, Gallo Record Company) was critically praised and was the first release of new material since Lihl' Ixhiba Likagogo (2000).
