Miriam Makeba - Live (1977)

This album is the German version of the South African release "'Live' For My Brothers And Sisters".

The songs are from a live concert at Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris in 1977. On the album are both political songs of various sorts as well as songs meant more for dance and fun ("Pata Pata" being the most recognizable).

Realistically, Makeba may have other albums of a higher recording quality out there, but the inclusion of crowd noises, monologues with the audience, and some acoustic irregularities (inherent in any live recording) make the album seem more worthy as a document of a live performance, giving the listener a feel for what a live concert by the great singer would be like.
Any fan of Makeba's music should be overjoyed upon hearing this album,
