Reading up on her is a great idea. She was the first African Musician to win a grammy for the 1965 album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba. She was an activist against apartheid and was eventually exiled from her home country. She was married to Hugh Masekela. She is also a featured musician on Paul Simon's Graceland (which is incidentally my personal project ROTD)
An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba is also a great album. It was my introduction to her just a couple of years ago when a friend gifted me a copy!
