Description

Brenda - Story of an African queen is a pen picture of one of Africa's greatest singers.

Compared with Billie Holliday and Nina Simone, Brenda's rise from the ghetto to continental superstar is a journey of luminous and troubled intensity.

By the time of her death in May 2004, Brenda had been etched into the national consciousness.

Her songs were emblematic of a country going through torment, then transition and seeking a balance.

Her see-saw lifestyle mirrored a people who were also struggling to find meaning and identity.

Fans loved and reviled her; lovers came and went; she was caring and cruel; but the talent, even when she was down and out, never deserted her - and South Africans love talent!
