What do the Songs in my album mean to me?

They are my way of sharing the joys and richness of life and helping you through the worst parts. I have known great happiness in my life

and I know God teaches you to appreciate the good and also tests your worthiness for it, by putting you face to face with so many challenges and much sadness. If life is a journey then look on my music as a map telling you about its landmarks the heights and the lows.

Tribute to Mama Africa-Miriam Makeba

I grew up in a family that loved music and I was introduced to the music of Miriam Makeba at the age of five by my parents who always played her records all the time. I fell inlove with her music, and since that age until I met her in 1984 she remained an idol whom I modeled my singing and musical career around. I first met Miriam in Washington DC  while I was on tour in the United States of America with Hugh Masekela.
