I am a Nigerian and I grew up on Mama Miriam Makeba. My late Dad and I were huge fans. As a singer, I learnt the art of lead and backup singing from listening to her music. She was phenomenal!
I love this song so much. I can listen to it on repeat for days. The strange sensation enjoying a devastating and sad story told with such beauty. Tracy Chapman has that same skill.
I am sure most Nigerians of my generation knew Mama Makeba and other freedom singers from SA. We could sing all the songs with the emotion and fire it conveyed! Those were the days Africa banded together
Ever since I was a teen I heard of Miriam Makeba and loved her songs and her activities so much. So good to hear her on you tube. God Bless! Her family and dear friends and fans.❤️☝️💕😍
The Lyrics 😭😭😭 "killing our Nation without any publicity" Woman who spent years in exile, at some point she couldn't come back to bury her mother because of the evil regime of apartheid. During the dark days
No Miriam did in fact buried her daughter bongie in guinea cornakry. Its her mother whom she was not able to bury because the apartheid government revoked her passport in the early 60s
1976 - Soweto - Apparently 15000 school children a protest march. 575 were killed and over 2000 injured. Bastards. And people wonder why Mugabe is not a nice forgivable person like Mandela was. Context. Perspective. Ignorance. History. Shit is more complicated then the average judgemental person thinks.
This type of music must be given air play very often because that's where our history as a nation and our future is. We are the nation of peace and our believe rely in music.
Et pourquoi rire de la mort de ces pauvres enfants à qui on a interdit de parler leur langue maternelle ? 🙄😒👶 Please translate with Google (the language is French)

The Lyrics 😭😭😭
"killing our Nation without any publicity"
Woman who spent years in exile, at some point she couldn't come back to bury her mother because of the evil regime of apartheid.
During the dark days
No Miriam did in fact buried her daughter bongie in guinea cornakry. Its her mother whom she was not able to bury because the apartheid government revoked her passport in the early 60s
😭😭😭😭
You should actually read what she wrote befresponding.. she did say, Her mother, she couldn’t come back to bury
You made cry then and now I cry even more now that what you fought for is a lost ffd paradise as the rogues steal everything 👎🏿😢😠😥🥵😕
She's gone but her spirit lives forever 😢
1976 - Soweto -
Apparently 15000 school children a protest march. 575 were killed and over 2000 injured. Bastards.
And people wonder why Mugabe is not a nice forgivable person like Mandela was.
Context. Perspective. Ignorance. History.
Shit is more complicated then the average judgemental person thinks.
It was actually 770 children killed
My favorite song from the queen..... R.I.P🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

L'hymne du PANAFRICANISME
Lindo ouvir ela cantar!
I am learning about this at school and I watched this video and I had to watch it again
This song just gives graphic view of how the apartheid government treated Africans. No mercy even for children
I always shed tears when ever I listen to this song. May mama Africa soul rest in peace.
Rest in peace mama africa,S AFRICA Zim n East Africa missed me a lot on this corona time
"Tightening the curfew, charging people with walking" kuke kwaba nzima yaz

💔😭💔
Pretty sure this is from a Paul Simon concert in SA
Bellísimo!!!! No me canso de escucharlo mil veces!!!!!!
Will feature MM and this song... along with Makhadzi's recent release... in my ESL class for Women's History Month....
Great to see MIriam Makeba::::
The civil rights movement that got overrun by the cops in Philly made my think of Soweto.
Maravilhosa!
no more Botho!
Oma bey !akuna matata!

Grateful my old man showed me this I’m only 24 😂😂😂
Et pourquoi rire de la mort de ces pauvres enfants à qui on a interdit de parler leur langue maternelle ? 🙄😒👶

Et suite à ces événements, les Camer étaient interdits de séjour en Afrique du Sud (par notre propre gouvernement Camer)
