WE WILL SING@30 featuring Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a special digital pre-release track from Kate Rusby's new album 30 : Happy Returns released 6th May 2022.
If you ask Kate, she has always performed ‘We Will Sing’ with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, albeit hearing them sing along inside her own head. She’s still picking her jaw off the floor over the fact that the actual Ladysmith Black Mambazo actually said yes to singing it with her to open the actual album. The South Africa/South Yorkshire collaboration reminds us that the world is full of such diverse folk and those folk can co-exist in glorious harmony.
