4.0 out of 5 stars Makeba the Magnificent!, July 11, 2002
By Lorraine Minor "rebel writer" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
I gasped when I saw this CD cover!

The two albums featured on this CD, "Miriam Makeba" and "The World of Miriam Makeba," were favorites of my mother when I was a little girl growing up on the south side of Chicago in the sixties. Mom played them so constantly I came to (phonetically) know most of the songs by heart by the age of nine, precociously singing along to "The Click Song," "Pole Mze," "Little Boy" and "Tonados De Media Noche"--to the great amusement of grown-up family members and guests. I was delighted to discover a Makeba CD featuring not just one but both albums and ordered it immediately, waiting impatiently for its arrival. Upon receiving it I eagerly placed it on my CD player, happily pressed PLAY, sat back smiling as my childhood came floating back to me...

...and was startled, puzzled and more than a little disappointed to discover what appears to have been an error or mix-up for one of the albums.

Though "The World of Miriam Makeba" contained all of the wonderful songs I remembered from my mother's album, many of the selections included for "Miriam Makeba" seem to me to be from a different Makeba record entirely!

Enjoyable as they are, I don't at all recall cuts like "The Naughty Little Flea" or "Olilili" or "Where Does It Lead?" etc., being on either original album, whereas songs like the playful "Can't Cross Over," the dreamy, sensual "(Love Tastes Like) Strawberries" and the heartbreaking lullaby (where a crooning mother consoles a hungry child--there is nothing to eat) "Ntjilo Ntjilo" are absent entirely--what happened here??

Even so, Makeba's voice is so strong and beautiful, and her command of her South African and international material so absolute, that regardless I have to give this collection at least four stars. Only the odd and annoying absence of the aforementioned and other remembered songs keeps this from being a five-star rave.

Buy, listen and decide for yourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Wonderful After All These Years, March 17, 2003
By A Customer
Not having heard this music for years (ok, decades), I was keeping my fingers crossed that the these songs would sound as terrific as I remembered. They do! Perhaps the original "world music" artist, Ms. Makeba's sound is timeless. From soothing lullaby to rousing wedding night serenade (the "Click Song" - hint: I don't think it's advice about joint checking accounts), these selections will bring you to your feet. Why did I wait so long to buy this CD?!

5.0 out of 5 stars pure beauty, February 17, 2008
This is for those of us who love pure musical tones although we may not recognize the words. Songs are in English, Xosa, Zulu, Indonesian, Swasi. See how long it takes you or your kids to identify #7-Mumbe! Hint: listen to the *back ground* singers, not to Ms Makeba! Two romping songs in English will have your youngsters singing along: The Naughty Little Flea, and One More Dance. The House of the Rising Sun is soft yet aching.
