    5 out of 5 stars A Justified Hit.......2001-12-26

    Brenda's music is popular all over Africa. Just recently I found out that she is a great hit in Ethiopia as well.
    The reason for this is the successful blend of South African roots music with a modern dance approach. Yvonne Chaka Chaka did it well in "Bombani", but Brenda makes you want to move even more.
    The choir is excellent, complementing brenda's voice perfectly. The Song "Vuli Endlela" is just about the best song for dancing I have heard. "Memeza" itself is a great song, not necessarilly for dancing.
    Now the CD is out of stock which is a great shame.
    I hope it comes back soon so all can enjoy its magic.

    5 out of 5 stars Brenda Fassie: A true Musical Gem.......2001-08-17

    I've just returned from a month long trip in Kenya and Brenda Fassie could be heard everywhere--from campsites to clubs. Her music is inspirational and cultured. She has suffereed greatly from the trials of apartheid and survived in order to turn her suffering into inspiration. She has also been able to write songs in Swahili, the official language of Kenya. So you see, Brenda fassie is multi-talented and awesome. Purchasing "Memeza" is one of the best things a lover of truly African music can do.

    5 out of 5 stars Vuli Ndlela.......2001-07-04

    I have not heard the whole album as yet but I recently spent a few weeks in Zambia and every bar and club that I went to played Vuli Ndlela. It has become the anthem for the trip and what a great choice, it's a perfect example of the catchy and very addictive melodys found in African music!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait for the CD to be delivered.

    5 out of 5 stars It's Heard Everywhere in Africa.......2000-12-26

    The music is a well done mixture of african rythym and melody and electronic dance music. It is catchy, beautiful, and very danceable. I just spent 7 months in Cameroon, Central Africa, and the songs on this collection were heard on every street corner, and every little bar throughout the country. I highly recommend this to everyone interested in contemporary african music!

    5 out of 5 stars excellent catchy numbers.......2003-11-20

    This is one of the good album from africa. The numbers are fast and catchy. When i first heard it during my trip in Africa,
    I knew I liked it. Songs really go beyond the language.

    5 out of 5 stars "Vuli Ndlela".......2002-02-26

    Memeza- "Vuli Ndlela" is the best song...it's not even the right amount of words to express how much I love this song. It's the best...If you don't have this CD you better hurry up and get it...
