Her Essential Recordings: The Empress of African Song

Her Essential Recordings: The Empress of African Song

Two CD set. Miriam Makeba was one of an elite group of artists who needed no real introduction. Her voice and life have become synonymous with the story of South Africa and, by extension, the story of the world since the end of the Second World War. Sadly she passed away on the 9th of November. With a career that has spanned more than half a century, she was known for bringing her message of 'hope, determination and song' to audiences all over the world as she revisited the countries which gave her shelter in exile, a political platform to speak from, or simply a stage to sing on. On these two CDs, including the original hit versions of both 'Pata Pata' and the remarkable 'Click Song', you can hear her musical journey from the earliest years to present day and understand just why she was and is called Mama Africa, the Empress Of African Song. 40 tracks.
