    • 2. Miriam Makeba – Xica da Silva

    Xica Da Silva’ is one of Ben’s most well-known and well-loved cuts, taken from the legendary LP ‘Africa Brazil’, that everyone needs to own.

    Mariam Makeba’s version is a firm favourite here - Low, slow, hynoptic drums and guitar let Myriam’s vocal shine through. A real grower. Previously unreleased on 7”.
