Miriam Makeba – Miriam Makeba

When this first started playing I immediately fell in love with her voice and that joy remained through the first couple of songs. I appreciated it a little less when she switched to singing in English, the other languages were so much more dynamic and really displayed the richness of her voice.

I really enjoyed reading about Miriam while listening, what a tremendously interesting life she lived and she obviously had the talent to have such a successful career.

This is a really great album hampered only by a few less than stellar song choices that detracted from my overall enjoyment.
