Биография артиста Miriam Makeba & The Skylarks

Miram Makeba And The Skylarks Were Between 1956 And 1959 One Of The Most Successful South African Vocal Groups To Blend American Influences Mills Brothers-Style Pop Gospel And Jazz With South African Tribal Rhythms And Vocal Styles Primarily Mbube A Four-Part Harmony Approach Originated By Zulu Miners .
While Growing Up In A Tough Johannesburg Township Miriam Makeba First Sang In Protestant School Choirs. After Achieving Initial Fame With The Manhattan Brothers Makeba Recorded A Few Singles Under Her Own Name Before Gallo Records Asked Her To Front A South African Girl Group Loosely Patterned After The Andrews Sisters And The McGuire Sisters. Makeba’s Lead Vocals Have A Pure And Innocent Quality That Belies Her Savvy As A Bandleader. Enhancing The Gorgeous Vocal Harmonies Wer Some Excellent South African Jazzmen Most Notably The Band’s White Musical Director And Talented Clarinetist-Saxman-Pianist Dan Hill As Well As The Great South African Pennywhistler Spokes Mashiyane Who Coaxed As Much Soul Out Of His Simple Instrument As Any Human Could. Like The Finest Mainstream Jazz This Music Has A Relaxed Spontaneous Feel That Is A Complete Joy To Hear. It’s Easy To Understand Why These Lilting Melodies Gave Hope To Blacks Living The Nightmare Of Apartheid. After Makeba Left South African In 1959 To Attend The Venice Film Festival The South African Authorities Would Not Allow Her To Return. Her Records Were Banned From South African Radio And The Skylarks Broke Up A Short While Later.
