#26: Miriam Makeba - Miriam Makeba (1960)

Genre(s): Afropop, World

I don't want to sidebar on it too much, but let me start by saying that Miriam Makeba was a truly incredible person. Take some time and learn about her life, she did some impressive work and fearlessly stood up for black liberation both in South Africa and here in the states, often at great personal risk. It's tangential to the material on the album so I don't want to devote a lot of space to it, but it's significant enough that I'd be remiss to not mention it.

As for the album: the very, very abridged version of the story is that Miriam moved to the states from Johannesburg in the middle of apartheid and met Harry Belafonte, who mentored her and gave her an in to the music industry. In fact, his backing band plays throughout this album.

The tracklist is a mix of African folk songs and Western standards, and the sound is a similar combination. I'm not an expert on traditional African music by any means, but this is very sedate compared to the field recordings/etc I've heard of African music as performed in Africa by local musicians. This aesthetic was a very smart move on Miriam's part, as it surely was much more appealing to a Western audience than the "more authentic" versions of these songs would be, and as a result helped kickstart Western interest in "world music" (for the record, I've never liked the idea of bulk-batching all non-Western traditional music into one pseudo-genre; Japanese shakuhachi music has as little to do with Indian classical music or African folk songs as jazz does with heavy metal or European classical music. What a bullshit big business music industry concept it is to just throw it all under one card in the record store.)

That being said, I also find this "blended" sound much less appealing than the other African music I've heard from the era. Don't get me wrong, her singing is excellent. There's just something missing for me here. It's all a little too loungey. It's not a bad listen, but I find myself losing interest throughout and tuning it out a bit. I think this album possesses immense historical and cultural significance, but MUST you hear it before you die? I'm conflicted on this one, but I'm leaning towards No. I think if you have a personal interest in the history of African music it's essential, but I feel like there are better options out there that would be of more interest to the average listener. There's a wide assortment of comparatively-high-quality field recordings of traditional African music out there from the usual suspects (Smithsonian Folkways, JVC World Sounds, etc) if you want the real McCoy, and there are more interesting albums from later down the road that blend African music with Western sounds to greater effect in my opinion (Afreaka! by Demon Fuzz and Lazy Bones!! by Witch both come to mind, listed in order of exclamation, as well as the obvious picks like Fela Kuti or Songhoy Blues, both of whom I believe we'll hear later in the project).

Also, for the nerds, I listened to this one in hi-res on Qobuz. I've ran across the record before, but never could bring myself to drop the cash on it.

Next time, pull on up to the soda fountain and hit the drive-in with your gal with A Date With the Everly Brothers!

in df a lot of the new quests run at terrible fps bc of how large the animations are! i often turn my quality to low for cutscenes n shit. also having the window be a smaller resolution helps, as well as hiding items/weapons w animations. btw do you have any recomendations for vids or podcasts or music to listen to while grinding?

Vibes ok i thought that might be it! just wasn't sure bc coincidentally my wifi is also terrible atm :'D but thank you i will try that! im tired of fighting the hollow dragonslayer in slow motion only to fucking die regardless ;;_;;

Reposted from @jedayabarboza We’re not pretending to have it all together in this union and that’s my favorite part about this union. We constantly grow through waves of fear & anxiety about the future and waves of deep surrender to the flow of the present, creating more opportunities to play and get really intimate with each other. It’s tantric. It’s shadow and it’s light. Lightning and thunder ⚡️ It’s soulfully adventurous, activating, penetrating, grounding and steady 🌹✨⁣ ⁣ [ Private 1:1 Tantra sessions for Singles + Couples ] looking to deepen your relationship and explore yourself + your partner through curiosity, new perspectives, the dance of polarities, and soul-illuminating rituals. - #regrann #Theartoftantra #nakedsoultribe #tantra #sacredsexuality #sacredsensuality #afreaka #blacklove #dreadlocks #melanin #5DNot5G #consentissexy #divinemasculine #divinefeminine (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KhmS2pRT5/?igshid=12em36c0wool4
