Miriam Makeba Artist Snapshot:

Well-known for her political views and fearless outspokenness against apartheid, as well as a high-profile marriage to Black Panther Stokeley Carmichael in the 1960s, Miriam Makeba has been both punished and praised for her passions. But her shining accomplishments have been more musical than political. Makeba was the first South African musician to achieve worldwide popularity. She spent much of her long career singing of the power and struggle of humanity, in a voice that can express a huge range of emotions with intensity and sincerity. She even scored a top 40 hit in 1967 with the choral "Pata Pata."

CD Review - Highly Recommended

Title Note

Miriam Makeba has endured decades of struggle. A child of apartheid, and an artist forced to live in exile, she has witnessed the ravages of racism and intolerance all her life. As she writes: "It is said that a person can learn a lot about a society from their music. I invite you, my friend, to listen to these cries from the heart that are the songs of my people."

Sangoma is a name given to a person possessed by the spirits of their tribal ancestors. SANGOMA, the album, brings to life age-old tribal songs from Africa's past. Each song, sung in Makeba's native Zulu tongue, celebrates the mysteries of the spirit world. Highlights include "Baya Jabula" a song in praise of the ancient spirits after they have cured someone through a sangoma, "Icala," and "Congo," both of which revolve around the plight of women. Uplifting and celebratory, SANGOMA is one of Miriam Makeba's most important albums.
