Born into the system of apartheid in South Africa, Miriam Makeba's life has been filled with struggle and suffering. However, the pain of her life has given her the ability to also better understand and embrace joy. Her music is celebratory and blissful
SING ME A SONG's title track is a gospel-inflected pop tune, while "Bass Rap" displays Makeba's South African roots, "Ndiarabi" has an R&B ballad flavor, and "Known Unsung Hero" is driven by a deep-pocketed funk groove. Makeba's singing is passionate and inspired, and her band complements her varied musical approach.
