Ladysmith Black Mambazo joined B*Witched on BBC's Top of the Pops, pairing the South African isicathamiya vocal group's a cappella harmonies with B*Witched's pop choreography. The slot placed Ladysmith Black Mambazo's layered vocal style into a late-1990s pop TV context usually occupied by chart acts. That cross-genre pairing brought South African vocal tradition to mainstream British pop television and introduced world-music harmonies to a pop audience.
