Various Artists : South Africa Presents: Women With A Voice |
|
| |
 The collection of 13 fabulous female vocalists from South Africa being presented is already something very special, even if it's simply because all of these artists have biographies that stand in direct correlation to political events. Though apartheid has come to an end, so many multifaced problems still exist in South Africa that all of these vocalists are raising their voices in the interests of "their" people. "Women With A Voice" is displaying the broad spectrum of styles and generations fort he first time: from Mbaqanga to Jazz, from Maskanda to modern Afro-Pop, from highly promising newcomers on the scene to legendary "divas". This album is a tribute to the South African music scene in its creatively outstanding multicomplexity , spanning the range from South Africa's most recent star Simphiwe Dana to divas like Sibongile Khumalo, Letta Mbulu , Busi Mhlongo or Gloria Bosman and of course Mama Africa Miriam Makeba. An event for all fans of great female voices from Africa.
