Known widely as "Mama Africa", Johannesburg-born Miriam Makeba, of Xhosa and Swazi descent, was a controversial singer, songwriter, feminist and political activist, perhaps one of the most important black women of the 20th Century. A singer with a dynamic, wholly unique vocal range, she built a career in South Africa during the 1950s, largely as a member of an all-female vocal group, The Skylarks, and as a "guest" member of the all-male Manhattan Brothers. She met Harry Belafonte in 1959, who encouraged her to move to New York, where he mentored her career and produced her early albums.

The award-winning Dutch composer and bass clarinet player Joris Roelofs is also currently working on a Ph.D. dissertation on Friedrich Nietzsche, improvisation, and the notion of freedom. On the album, he can combine all of this, in a suite of twelve pieces inspired by Nietzsche, ‘by far the most musical of philosophers’ according to Roelofs. It is especially the parable of the tightrope walker in the opening section of ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None’ that has inspired him for his own ‘Light-Footed Music for All and None. It is not surprising that Nietzsche’s thoughts about free spirits, liberated from conventional constraints and belief systems, resonate particularly well with musicians working with improvisation and across genres.

It features hits such as the Habanera from Bizet's Carmen and Falla's Vivan los que rien from La Vida breve. Crebassa portrays five strong female characters Carmen, Dulcinée, Concepcion, Périchole, and Salud. She recorded the album with the Choeur & Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse conducted by Ben Glassberg.
