Thanks, McGrath! What an unexpected and delightful trip down memory lane.

My mom was a big Makeba fan in her youth, and expressed a particular fondness for this song. When that video of the "Graceland" concert in Zimbabwe came out, many years later, she was elated to find Makeba (and "Jikele"!) on the playlist.   

That was my first introduction to it. Hope you've seen/heard it, it's a really brilliant rendition.

Slán,
