"As one who knew Miriam Makeba and I also have the album "PATA PATA".
I found it to be a great and wonderful work of Miriam Makeba as I did
when it came out. She truly deserved the name Mother Africa."
Lighthearted and fun

"Ms. Makeba's voice and melodies are rich and intriguing. Sometimes for me her voice evokes shades of Edith Piaf and Earta Kitt. Ms. Makeba though, is a force of nature and captivated me on this album. The intricate voices and rythmns are joyful and they caught me up into them."
She was unique!

"Her recording of 'Pata Pata' has been a favorite of mine for years. I used to play it while I did my house cleaning. It was a record. Over the years I had to give up my records, but now I have her on CD. She had a great voice."

"I had never heard of Miriam Makeba until I learned of her though Professor John McWhorter who referred to her on a set of great courses CDs on the history of human language. She was interesting linguistically because of her native "click" language. This album; in fact, contains her "Click Song". What I discovered was an incredibly talented singer. After reading about her life I discovered what an great person she was. From modest beginnings in South Africa she became not only a remarkable singer, but a civil rights activist affectionately called "Mama Africa". She died in 2008 respected and beloved."
