Miriam Makeba's debut album was unfortunately not a success when it was first released. With most songs sung in her native language of Xhosa, western audiences were lukewarm on the singer. However, her follow-up album was a bigger success and thankfully listeners were more open and went back to rediscover this masterpiece full of playful melodies, and interesting instrumentation.
