Shaka Zulu is an 1987 album by South African a cappella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Following the collaboration on Paul Simon's 1986 album Graceland which brought the group to international prominence, Shaka Zulu (produced by Simon) marked the band's first genuine international hit, securing them an American audience which would be built upon by the successes of Journey of Dreams (1988) and Two Worlds, One Heart (1990). Shaka Zulu was a collection of newly recorded versions of older Mambazo hits, such as "Unomathemba", "Hello My Baby" and "Lomhlaba Kawunoni". Shaka Zulu won a Grammy in 1988 for Best Traditional Folk Recording. The album was also featured in Robert Dimery's 2006 musical reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
