Mahotella Queens: Hilda Tloubatla, Nobesutho Mbabu, Mildred Mangxola (vocals). Additional personnel: Mike Pilot (programming). Recorded at Downtown Studios, Johannesburg, South Africa. Includes liner notes by Marks Mankwane. WOMEN OF THE WORLD is the first album Mahotella Queens have recorded without Mahlathini and the Makhona Tsohle Band. Although usually heard backing the groans and surging vocals of Mahlathini, the Mahotella Queens can certainly perform on their own. A working unit since 1964, they show on this new release that their harmonies and leads deserve attention on their own. There are celebratory praise songs such as "Africa" and the title track, numbers done in both their traditional language and English, a wonderful remake of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released," and the potent message tracks "Homeless" and "I'm Not Your Good Time Girl." ~ Ron Wynn
