\nLORRAINE KLAASEN
\nA Tribute To Miriam Makeba<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Lorraine Klaasen<\/a> is one of the few South African artists who have preserved the classic sound of ‘Township music’, which continues to be the most distinctive sound to come out of South Africa. Born and raised in Soweto, South Africa, Lorraine has electrified audiences worldwide with her dynamic stage presence and showmanship.\u00a0 Her latest show and accompanying CD<\/a> are a tribute to the legendary songstress\u00a0Miriam Makeba<\/a>, a close friend of Klaasen’s and her mother\u00a0– the incomparable Thandi Klaasen.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a fitting homage, Lorraine and her band do ‘Auntie Miriam’ justice with energetic and heartfelt renditions of South African classic and traditional folk songs, including those that Miriam Makeba brought to the masses like Pata Pata<\/em>, The Click Song<\/em> and Jolinkomo<\/em>, as well as Lorraine’s own compositions inspired by the lady herself.<\/span><\/p>\n
