wonderful music February 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I first heard some of this music in the 1960's when I was still living in England and my best friend had gone to South Africa for a year. She sent me a single with 'The Click Song' on it, because of apartheid she wasn't supposed to do that. I'm glad she did because Miriam Makeba has a beautiful crystal-like voice which moves me to this day. I don't understand any of the words, but manage to sing along anyway! This is a happy, uplifting CD, certainly worth owning.
Songs to warm the heart March 28, 2007

I grew up with just one of Miriam Makeba's albums, the only one available at that time, simply called: Miriam Makeba. Technology has outdated the record albums, replaced with tapes and now cd's. That album, no longer available, I searched for some of my favorite songs, and they are here. Miriam Makeba has a beautiful voice, a warm voice. If you want an introduction to Miriam Makeba, I recommend this one.

I can't understand a word of it. But; her voice is a musical instrument as wonderful to hear as charlie parkers horn or george shearing's piano. A perfect evening a glass of fine wine and listening to the above.
Makeba at Her Best August 1, 2003
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Mariam Makeba was and is a legend. Her introduction of African style music to the United States during the 1960s and 70s opened the way for many groups playing and singing folk-style and pop-style music with an African flavor. What can I say, Makeba is just wonderful in this series of songs mostly sung in her native Zulu dialect. I was fascinated by the fact that the various Bantu related languages have taken on some of the click sounds used by the Khoisan-speaking "bushmen."This recording, more than any other, seems to me to capture the spirit of Africa that failed to be crushed by political repression. If you like African music you will like this CD!
