The isicathamiya group has been nominated in the Best World Music category, for ‘Shaka Zulu Revisited: 30th Anniversary Celebration’ and in the Best Children’s Album for ‘Songs Of Peace & Love For Kids & Parents Around The World’.

The South African group won their first of several Grammies in 1988 (for ‘Shaka Zulu’) and in 2014 they shared their fourth Grammy, for Best World Music Album, with the Gipsy Kings. It was the same year the band celebrated its 50th anniversary.

They first shot to worldwide fame when they collaborated on Paul Simon’s Grammy-winning album ‘Graceland’ in the ’80s.

The 60th Grammy Awards will be held in January 2018. Both Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar have been nominated for the most awards. Jay-Z will also be receiving the Icon award. Bruno Mars has received the third most nominations.
