| | The Legend CD Miriam Makeba Discography of CDs
Known the world over as Mama Africa, South African musical icon Miriam Makeba has been directly associated with the struggle for South African rights since her exile in the early 1960s. Yet Makeba's high profile standing as a voice of political conscience sometimes overshadows her significant musical contributions, which are represented beautifully on the 14-track compilation appropriately titled THE LEGEND. Drawn from across her career, the songs on THE LEGEND emphasize Makeba's versatility, which ranges from high-energy township jive to Brazilian bossa nova to tender ballads. This set offers an excellent place for Makeba newcomers to start.

The Legend
$10.09 
The 1952 NBC series Victory at Sea was one of the earliest network documentary series to capture the public's imagination in a serious way, and one of the more enduring offshoots was the music by Richard Rodgers, which was recorded by RCA-Victor in what ultimately became a series of four LPs. Rodgers was chosen by series producer Henry Salamon based on his being the "leading American composer of his day," a somewhat exalted (though understandable) judgement for a man who was most closely associated with the Broadway stage and Hollywood. The albums were popular, probably due in part to the fact that the music was accessible and unchallenging, and that it insinuated itself for months into the household of seemingly every American family that had someone fighting in World War II -- and that a lot of veterans owned stereo systems in the late '50s, and these recordings took full advantage of stereo's two-channel sound separation. As to the music itself, one finds on listening to it 40+ years later that a little goes a long way. Rodgers devised a straightforward melodic score whose most inspired moments (such as the main title theme) seem to have been lifted from the early work of Ralph Vaughan Williams. An astonishing amount of what is on this CD (which runs 67 minutes) is banal, predictable musical accompaniment, ...

Born on the island of St. Croix, Batch became inspired by music at a very early age. With exposure to musical equipment and records he developed an interest in music. As a teen he began playing drums and became exposed to other musical instruments at a church. After completing school, Batch played professional gigs as a drummer first with Danny Tucker, a vintage roots singer out of Jamaica, then moving on as lead vocalist and drummer helping to form the reggae band Motion, along with brothers Eddie 'I-DE' and Reggie 'I-GE' Beazer in the city of Boston. They went on to win Boston's Caribbean Best Reggae Band Award for five years consecutively as a supporting band and independently performing as Motion throughout the eastern U.S., sharing the stage with some of the strongest on the reggae scene such as Tony Rebel, Spragga Benz, Sizzla, Bushman, Buju Banton, Capleton, Anthony B, Determine, Louie Culture to name a few. With Faith in Rastafari, Batch ventured into production and established his own record label, Sound V.I.Zion Records, in 1999. Strictly consciousness with an African musical Liberation, music ...

The Legend

Nigeria's Fela Kuti, amongst other 1970s innovators, popularized the jazz-inflected, funky style that he called "Afrobeat." Predictably, the style has mutated and evolved in the ensuing years while maintaining its original flavor and politically charged themes. This comprehensive compilation consists of a disc's worth of songs by the current generation's finest purveyors of Afrobeat--including several non-African acts--and one bonus disc by New York City's Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra. An informative multilingual booklet accompanies the discs.
