And I thought that some of the phonmes of Arabic were hard to get my vocal apparatus around. I always loved Ms Makeba's works, but could not figure out how to pronounce some of the words.
It isn't a great deal easier now, even knowing which part of the respiratory system they come out of. That does not diminish my appreciation of her music a bit.
