This 1997 release presents the first comprehensive collection of popular female African vocalists -- only fitting, since in countries such as Mali and South Africa, the greatest singers have long tended to be women. The collection brings together 14 performers from 11 different countries... from internationally famous stars such as Miriam Makeba, Angelique Kidjo and The Mahotella Queens, to revered performers such as Stella Chiswese and Ami Koita, to favorites from old Ladyslipper catalogs, such as The Lijadu Sisters, M'bilia Bel, and Tshala Muana. A highly recommended way to experience a panorama of diverse and incredible talent!
