?It was Miriam Makeba?s destiny to broadcast an
image of South Africa to the world without
actually being in the country. She fought against
Apartheid and the Regime in South Africa by means
of persistent political agitation and, of course,
lots of music. But it took a good deal of
perseverance and the ups and downs of appearing in
clubs and shows until the songs of the South
African singer, who was expatriated in 1959, were
heard in her new adopted country, the USA.
The good old formula, whereby protest in music
only reaches its objectives through entertainment,
also holds good for this early song compilation,
which is filled with artistic originality and
brought great commercial success. Alongside the
rousing, melodic and groovy Afro-World music
numbers, there are several 'global players' such
as the cleverly arranged ballad 'Forbidden Games',
the bluesy spiritual numbers 'Little Boy' and
'Wonder Of Things', and a cracking Latin number
entitled 'Tonados De Media Noche'. The wonderfully
bright sound of Hugh Maeskela and his band
enhance the highly varied characters of the
selected pieces. Here we have a musical vista of
at least half of our world, which fits perfectly
on one LP.
