4 out of 5 stars the great yvonne chaka chaka.......2005-03-27

i grew up in nigeria and through 1986 - 1988 i listened to this pioneering south african pop singers songs like, im burning up, mkwombothi(pardon if the spelling is wrong) and "thank u mr. dj for playing my song",these jams had me and my sisters dancing for months without stop. this was and still is when she was in her prime it's like micheal jacson in his billie jean days. i listened to yvonne chaka chaka and majek fashek and still have very fond memories of those times. i am definitely buying the princess of africa collection even though i am not sure of some of the songs. up nigeria and up chaka chaka.GREAT AFRICA.

5 out of 5 stars Is It An Album? Or Is It A Compilation?.......2004-01-04

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the question: is this admittedly

intriguing-looking Yvonne Chaka Chaka release an actual, so-

called "studio album" (presumably from the mid- or late 1990s),

all or almost all the songs of which are not repeats or remixes

of earlier-released material...or is it a presumably mid- or

late-Nineties compilation? For one thing, it so often seems that

South African-- if not GENERALLY African-- popular-music

artistes were "volumetrically" unable or unwilling to repeatedly

release albums with more than eight all-new SONGS (not just

"tracks") at a time. Not that quantity equals quality, of

course, but one wonders, you see...

Or is the title "Princess Of Africa" a wearily obvious

"giveaway"?

5 out of 5 stars Best Of Princess Of Africa.......2000-11-26

I used to listen to her music over the Radio, and everywhere in the streets of Africa, she is a house hold song bird, it is like she is telling a story, but then the story turns out into a lullaby that put everyone to sleep in a broad day light. Her style is nostalgic especially when you watch her video " The Best Of Princess of Africa" I would like to order this video in VHS.
