NAPPA GOLD Award - "This
Land is Your Land" is a benefit recording for The Southern Poverty Law
Center produced by Music for Little People featuring 14 artists. This
star-studded project pays tribute to the concepts of liberty and justice for all
and celebrates respect for the individual diversity that makes this country
unique. Weaving songs, poetry and stories together to create an entertaining yet
educational experience, we have carefully selected pieces that speak of the
ongoing struggle to achieve these basics beliefs and the special significance of
the contributions of the civil rights movement. With songs and poetry by
Woody Guthrie, Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes and a story by Awele Makeba.
This recording is a must for every family collection.
PARENTS CHOICE SILVER HONOR -
"Tell That Tale Again" is a spirited
celebration of the black oral tradition. Experience a rich mosaic of personal and family
stories, song, fables, trickster and tall tales told by storyteller Awele Makeba.
"Awele Makeba makes you rich with her
telling: rich in laughter, rich in wonder, rich in wisdom. As Awele moves into a
story, her listeners move into delight."
Nancy Duncan, Nebraska Storytelling Festival
Trailblazers:
"History comes alive! Based on historical documents, bubbling with colorful
detail, these lively narratives of African American legends and California pioneers by
Awele Makeba will stay in your memory long after the CD ends."
