Inla is a record by an all male South African Choral Group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The group formed in 1960 but raised to international fame when they collaborated with Paul Simon on his Graceland Album. Inla is a great album featuring lots of amazing a capella songs that are filled with sophisticated harmonies. Each song is written in the structure of a prayer and usually ends with amen. The record does contain a lot of songs in the same vain but thanks to the incredible talent of the band the album is far from flat sounding. I really enjoyed the songs "Ngothandaza" and "Isala Kutshelwa." Also "That's why I choose you" stands out, maybe the fact that it is english, regardless it is a nice love song. If you are a fan of world music and a capella format I would Highly suggest the album Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Inla!
