Free Music Notes for Africa
Free Music Review: This is a GREAT album that will bring you joy, and lift your spirits!
Hit: 5 Stars
The jubilant, warm excitement that comes across on this album is almost tangible. So much of "World Music" can sound contrived, overly spit-shined and polished up to the point that what makes it valuable culturally has been cleaned up and edited away. This album by Miriam Makeba is exactly what valuable "World Music" should sound like - it takes you away to the place where the music originated, and through only one sense, makes you feel as if you're surrounded by the others, and actually in the originating locale.
Miriam Makeba's name is one that's been familiar to me since childhood. My parents enjoyed listening to her music, even taking me in my childhood to a concert in which she performed with Hugh Masekela. I'd honestly not even remembered that her music could be as engaging and uplifting as it is, until a recent auto ad came out playing her very catchy "Pata Pata". Ever since the first time that I heard the song played in that Honda ad, I've been on a bend to get my hands on an album with a good recording of it. Even though it's not on this album, the songs recorded here really do keep me from missing it too much. This is a great album, and one that you won't regret adding to your collection, especially at the great prices it's being sold for!
Incidentally, if you ARE looking for that particular version of "Pata Pata" that's played in the 2010 ad for the Honda Accord Crosstour, I believe that you'll find it on Her Essential Recordings: The Empress of African Song. Cheers!
