Album Notes & Community Reviews

This Grammy-winning collaboration serves as a potent vehicle for introducing traditional South African melodies to a global audience. Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba utilize stripped-down, acoustic arrangements to deliver deeply political, culturally resonant folk songs that actively highlighted the struggles of the anti-apartheid movement.
