Synopsis

Album Description

The 32 selections reissued in this two part collection bring together the greatest recordings of Miriam Makeba and the Skylarks. All of them originally appeared on shellac 78 rpm discs and have been largely unobtainable for more than three decades. This early music, together with the story of its making, constitutes one of South Africa's most interesting and satisfying cultural legacies.

CD Reviews

Miriam Makeba's early roots

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 08/06/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you're only familiar with Miriam Makeba's folk-era recordings ("The Click Song," etc.) then take the time to check out this amazing set of her earliest work from the mid-1950s, with the Skylarks vocal ensemble. This is South African "jive" music, a mix of ska-like African rhythms and American jazz and swing melodies - some of the most cheery and infectious music you'll ever hear! This is the first disc of a 2-volume collection... BMG also put out an 18-track single CD best-of that has a lot of the same great material. Either way you find this music, it'll knock your socks off!"
