Post-Gazette, CD Review >>
Miriam Makeba testified
before the Unite Nations in
1963 about apartheid in
South Africa. That cost her
citizenship in South Africa,
but with the help of Harry
Belafonte she was able to
immigtat~ 'to the U.S. Thus
she was able to continue her
career which now spans 50
years, On Reflections; she
deliverS a baker's dozen of
songs just in time to cel-
ebrate the ten-year anniver-
sary of the end of apartheid.
Celebrate along with Miriam
by enjoying tracks as the
rhythmic, "Iyaguduza," a
song that made her a house-
hold name -"Pata Pata,"
plus the pretty "Comme Vne
Symphonie D'Amour" sung in
French, the bossa nova clas-
sic "Mas Que Nada," "and an
enchanting arrangement of
her hit "The Click Song," The
lush sound of, "I'm In wve
With Spring," the bossa nova
beauty "Xica Da Silva," the
pensive ballad "Love Tastes
Like Strawberries," and the
breezy "I Shall Sing." The or-
gan-laden "Quit It" and the
harmonizing of "Where Are
You Going?" mark the end of
the beautiful Makeba vocals!
