Customer Review: 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... more info
Customer Review: Miriam Makeba was- is an amazing singer but this collection falls short. I would advise older original recording like: Africa, Pata Pata, even Live from Paris. You won't regret it.
Customer Review: There's little one can say about Miriam Makeba to those who don't have the privilege of knowing her. You have to listen first.

Like Harry Belefonte before her, there was a market for pleasant new rhythms and... more info
Customer Review: Although this CD has been around for a while, it is still a stunning piece of what is today called World Music. Makeba's music has been around since the 1960s, and her voice on this album is amazing, taking you from the political to the deepest blues to joy infused pop music. This is a real winner!
Customer Review: We had the LP of "An Evening with Belafonte and Makeba" when I was a kid, so I was thrilled to be able to get this reissue on CD. It's as great as I remembered it, and the sound quality is better than the original vinyl. I would have been happy with just that album on the CD. To someone who... more info
