The CD arrive very very quickly and to tell you the truth i still listen to it every morning whilst i get ready.Lots of different languages, lots of different styles of music.
It was a record. Her recording of 'Pata Pata' has been a favorite of mine for years. I used to play it while I did my house cleaning. Over the years I had to give up my records, but now I have her on CD. She had a great voice.
As one who knew Miriam Makeba and I also have the album "PATA PATA". I found it to be a great and wonderful work of Miriam Makeba as I didwhen it came out. She truly deserved the name Mother Africa.
Ms. Ms. Makeba's voice and melodies are rich and intriguing. Sometimes for me her voice evokes shades of Edith Piaf and Earta Kitt. Makeba though, is a force of nature and captivated me on this album. The intricate voices and rythmns are joyful and they caught me up into them.
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. I consider myself twice as fortunate, as I was a small boy when her songs started to play on the radio in Brazil. This album in particular has a long story with me, but to make it short, I'd say that if you like the vibe and charm of real African music, it's a must.
