"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."
A Justified Hit

"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."
Brenda Fassie: A true Musical Gem

"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."
