Harry Belafonte with Miriam Makeba - An Evening with Belafonte & Makeba - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl — Speakers Corner Reissue

Subtitled "Songs from Africa," this 1965 collaboration pairs Harry Belafonte with Miriam Makeba on melodies drawn from South African tribal songs, lovingly arranged with sensitive new settings. The producers kept the backing sparse — a little guitar, a touch of mouth organ, the soft pulse of drums — to preserve the songs' original character, with a mixed chorus carrying the traditional call-and-response. The result is warm, addictive world music you'll want to hear again and again. A Grammy winner in its day.
