Product Description
From Amazon.com
A sangoma is a traditional healer, one who channels the ancestral spirits who advise the living. On this impeccably produced CD, Miriam Makeba returns to her roots, singing the songs of her childhood, and in the process seeks to heal the wounds of apartheid and 30 years of exile from her South African home. The songs here are parables, lullabies, and gathering songs, deeply spiritual and moving. They are songs of struggle and perseverance delivered by Africa's best-loved voice. Mama Africa (Makeba's nickname) is joined by a group of soulful women singers. Some songs feature understated percussion; others are gloriously unadorned a cappella. This is an essential timeless album from one of the world's greatest singers. --Jeff Grubb
CD Description
Miriam Makeba has endured decades of struggle. A child of apartheid, and an artist forced to live in exile, she has witnessed the ravages of racism and intolerance all her life. As she writes: "It is said that a person can learn a lot about a society from their music. I invite you, my friend, to listen to these cries from the heart that are the songs of my people".
Sangoma is a name given to a person possessed by the spirits of their tribal ancestors. SANGOMA, the album,brings to life age-old tribal songs from Africa's past. Each song, sung in Makeba's native Zulu tongue, celebrates the mysteries of the spirit world. Highlights include "Baya Jabula" a song in praise of the ancient spirits after they have cured someone through a sangoma, "Icala", and "Congo", both of which revolve around the plight of women. Uplifting and celebratory, SANGOMA is one of Miriam Makeba's most importantalbums.
