This is my favorite Miriam Makeba CD. It has a jazzy sound and is very upbeat. Miriam was my introduction into African Pop and I am so excited that I discovered it! African music is my favorite music and this CD is one that is near the top of my list! I've recommended this to people and everyone that has purchased it, loves it!

Joyous and thought-provoking. From the first track to the last, it makes you want to dance. I am just beginning to discover the music of Africa - and what a delight this album is!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Queen of African music, November 24, 2000

Known as the Queen of African music- this album is spell-binding and includes tunes Makeba sings in tribute to countries such as her homeland South Africa (which was in turmoil during the production of this album), Mozambique and Guinea.

A political histoy, a story and altogether compelling listening. Give it a listen.
