CD Reviews

DISAPPOINTED

FELICIA | 01/18/2009

(1 out of 5 stars)

"MAMA AFRICA was touted as the very best of Makeba's works and it just is not. More than that, many of the cuts are backed by a full orchestra or backup that is terrible if you are used to Miriam's voice being foremost, with a light African music back up. On one cut, Miriam seems to be a back up singer for a male singer. This was painfully disappointing to hear. I finally found the album that really was the Miriam Makeba I had loved in the 60's and 70's: Miriam Makeba AFRICA."

Buy the originals

"Miriam Makeba was- is an amazing singer but this collection falls short. I would advise older original recording like: Africa, Pata Pata, even Live from Paris. You won't regret it."

Don't Purchase This CD for Pata Pata

"When you play the Pata Pata "Sample" for this CD, you will hear the popular "Hit" version. However, when you play the actual CD, you will hear a completely different version. In my view, this is very deceptive!! The primary reason I purchaed this CD was for the "Hit" version of Pata Pata. What a disappointment!! However, I do like many of the songs on this CD and will not return it. Please be warned. Do not purchase this CD for Pata Pata!"
