Recently, upon learning of Miriam Makeba’s death, I found myself thinking about not only her music but that of Harry Belafonte and Odetta as well. I’m happy to say that I saw Odetta in concert a couple years ago. A significant moment at the festival I was attending, indeed. Hopefully she can weather this current situation.
