Makeba,miriam - Mama Afrika 1932-2008 - Music CD

2009 two CD anthology. No female singer in South African history holds as much respect as the legendary Miriam Makeba. Sadly, on the evening of Sunday, November 9th, 2008, she gave her last performance. Miriam collapsed from a cardiac arrest during a performance in Italy, at a benefit concert against organised crime. Created jointly by Gallo and the Makeba Trust, this beautiful compilation outlines her career in 38 well-chosen gems from her extensive catalogue, from her early days with the Skylarks and Manhattan Brothers to the end of her career, and includes a collaboration with Nina Simone.
