Miriam Makeba - The Voice Of Africa (1964)

Throughout her time as a concert singer in 1960s America Miriam Makeba was promoted as the embodied voice of a sonic, imagined Africa. Where her white audiences were attracted to the complete ‘‘otherness’’ of her African blackness, her black American audiences saw themselves – or imagined versions of themselves – put on stage, and built solidarities between their own struggle and the struggle against apartheid.

The Voice of Africa is the 1964 fourth album of Miriam Makeba issued by RCA Victor. It charted at #122 on the US album chart.
