Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Known widely as 'Mama Africa', Johannesburg-born Miriam Makeba, of Xhosa and Swazi descent, was a controversial singer, songwriter, feminist and political activist, perhaps one of the most important black women of the 20th Century. A singer with a dynamic, wholly unique vocal range, she built a career in South Africa during the 1950s, largely as a member of an all-female vocal group, The Skylarks, and as a 'guest' member of the all-male Manhattan Brothers. rr

She met Harry Belafonte in 1959, who encouraged her to move to New York, where he mentored her career and produced her early albums.rr

Disc 1 of this 2-CD set features the pick of her 1950s recordings made in South Africa, between 1954-59, and includes her first international hit, 'Lovely Lies', recorded with The Manhattan Bros.rr

Disc 2 comprises her earliest New York recordings, the LPs 'Miriam Makeba' (which featured 'The Click Song') and 'The Many Voices Of Miriam Makeba', plus a couple of sides recorded with Belafonte at Carnegie Hall.
