Miriam Makeba - Sangoma (1988)

"Sangoma" was Miriam Makeba's comeback album, her first U.S. release in almost a decade. It is a beautiful collection of traditional South African songs with spare production values that highlight the power of Makeba's vocals. This is an excellent set of Xhosa folk songs she learned as a child.     

"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." - Miriam Makeba in the liner notes.
