Miriam Makeba is an icon and national symbol, symbolizing the flame of unity in cultural diversity.
Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award-winning South African singer and civil rights activist. In the 1960s, she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world. She is best known for the song "Pata Pata", first recorded in 1957 and released in the U.S. in 1967. She recorded and toured with many popular artists, such as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband Hugh Masekela.
Makeba campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. The South African government responded by revoking her passport in 1960 and her citizenship and right of return in 1963. As the apartheid system crumbled she returned home for the first time in 1990.
Makeba died of a heart attack on 9 November 2008 after performing in a concert in Italy organised to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation local to the region of Campania.

I am proud to say I was at this concert in 1987 as a 20 year old. My love and admiration for Miriam is still as strong. Rest in peace Mama Afrika. Your music is a true legacy.
Wow good to hear that then you're a eye witness then
Well I still feel in good company to be here educated by those whom saw her in the flesh 😢😅😊
I wish I can have a conversation with you sometime about your experience, I grew up in South America, I have watch the DVD so many times, I look at the people's faces in the crowd and try to imagine the emotions they experienced...amazing!
I'm proud and feel grateful to say, I was somewhere in that crowd at this concert.
I envy you. 👏❤️
Wow! I also envy you. Which year was this omg?
@@vee6668 This was 1987
She's one of those people I wish could live on forever literally. She came to Jamaica some years ago and many of us were not able to attend the concert. The cost was out of our reach. 😢
I'm sorry you didn't get to see her. You're right. What an incredible woman. She lived an incredible life.
Africans forget heroes and heroines such as this iconic woman. A statue of Miriam Makeba should be raised high by the best port in most African countries, especially South Africa
Agreed 👍
Fantastic idea! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed 💯
I am proud South African and Mama Makeba's songs touches my soul. ❤Lala ngoxolo Mbokodo💪🏾 May your spirit just like your voice continue to soar❤️🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦
I’m a South African who has loved this lady from my school das, listening to her on the radio. ❤😂
I'm proud to be born in this great Land (AFRICA) may God bless KENYA 🇰🇪 and all countries in AFRICA 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹👏👏👏👏
Who else here doesn't understand anything in the song,but enjoys anyway!?
Beautiful voice
Me too. Don't understand jack but its still great music to my ears.
That's always been the beauty of Mother Africa's many tongues...we are both many and one at the same damned time...glad to see there's so much appreciation still.
I sang these songs all the time when I was a little girl. She would explain what the song was about. You couldn't tell me that I didn't know how to speak "African".
Me ❤️
Miriam music lives on. Those back-up singers have beautiful voices.
I can remember her first appearance in the UNITED STATES. I went to THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW in New York City as saw her performance.
My aunt was from Malawi AFRICA and introduced me to Miriam Makeba.
I was just a child who fell in love with her CLICK SONG to the point where I actually LEARNED HOW TO SING IT.
Rest in PEACE MOMMA AFRICA.
what a life experience !!!
Blessed
Extraordinaria !!!

Miriam Makeba was one of the most amazing people to walk this earth.
Hello ,how are you doing?
Absolutely!!!
I remember the times that my parents would sit me at the record player and play the songs and they made me remember this song in particular and I learned that the Phoneticaler song never really knew what the words were but I just felt it in my soul at the age 5 and six when both of my parents died my mother first she died at 51 and I sat over her body in the morgue and I sang this song to her who would’ve known the blessing that I gave her and our family. Many years later my father passed away in my arms and I sang this exact same song to him and I felt the presence of God as he took his last breath sometimes your parents know more than you think they know obedience out weights sacrifice thank you Mama Africa.
❤️🫂

Hello ,how are you doing?
How beautiful. !
And if you notice..., there's only ONE voice singing, so precise the voices that is so congruous, SO exact. 👍
2 months later...
Complete beauty, from sounds of music to performers so enjoying their singing...
What and how can governments who deplore this sweetness exist. ? (BUT THEY DO AND WILL DO, thanks to some of us inexplicable humans. 😫)
'I'm so happy to be back home!', she said.
Hello ,how are you doing?
I have loved this artist since I first heard her in 1963. Such a joyful lady. Amazing talent.
The greatest of all times..singing for the pure love of the music ❤❤❤
My parents taped this, and it was Mariam's performance with the backup singers the left a lasting impression on me. They exuded pure Venus vibes, they all had such a presence !!
We salute this amazing veteran in music 🎶
2023 and this song is still a masterpiece
goosebumps, i love these women and Mrs Makeba ❤💙💕. Rest well Queen. 💜
This was live at Rufaro Stadium in Harare Zimbabwe 1986 at the launch of Paul Simon album Graceland. The capacity crowd of 30 000 plus
Little did they know it would be the start of the collapse of this great country at the hands of Africas biggest looter. May Africa one day arise for all it's people of every tribe and nation
we are so happy to have you back home!
nous sommes si heureu-ses de te voir parmi nous ici a la maison Afrique !!!!
the african queens never leave the throne!
Oh really
This music brings a tear to eyes. My father had all of her albums. What memories of Crown St.
I didn't understand what she was singing but what a powerful voice. I can't imagine the racism she must have endured at that time. May she rest in peace.
This reflects my mind back to the free *Mama Africa* we had unlike now😢
Oh my i watched her growing up at my grandmas, glad i came across this video, brings back sooo many memories...Best times....thank you 💙from the Fiji Islands 🌴

I love songs and music from all over the globe. I watched Momma Makeba many many years ago and was hooked on her voice and music. She does everything so sweetly and smooth. May you Rest In Peace and be close to our Lord.
Miriam Makeba, so much admiration for you! I have many records by you in France and this song is one of my favourites among other masterpieces. We miss you!

Her music was in our house since the 60s. One my moms favourite . Grateful got to see her in Edmonton live the week after my mom passed . It was a very bittersweet concert to attend that eve with my dad who had gotten the tickets to surprise my mom with . First week nov 2001 .
The Grace! Awesome!
I can see Ray Phiri in the background what a show it was. Was part of this crowd!!!
It's a very energetic cultural performance.
Many African American children in the 70's may not have been taught much about Africa but WE DID come to know about "Mother Africa" from South Africa, the late Mrs. Miriam Makeba!!!!! YES!!!!!!
I will never forget these sounds.
Harry V. Swayne Sr. Listenning to her sing , reminds me of when I went to see IPITOMBI with some friiends of mine back in 1976/7 at Hermajesties Theatre in London and thought it good posted from London ENGLAND
Me too. I remember watching this concert on TV too and just loving it

Thank you to the fellow artists that make life very much living. Your work is very much never forgotten and life may be found better through the beauty of your talents. A wind for us all. Thank you if you read this. Hard work, luck, talent, practice.
May there always be a World for artists!
These sisters gave me goosebumps.
On the other hand, can anyone imagine her influence and power to be prohibited return to the motherland of your birth. Imagine! No, stop. You heard part of the story in the video intro for the Queen of 🇿🇦 Miriam Makeba. That injustice sucked then and it will suck whenever we remember her.
Thank you Mama African
Mama Africa. African song is not always about love or sexualism. See the serenity in her voice. Song of oppressed. That what makes them different from contemporary artist.
I am from Greenland up the top of the world , far North. I have always enjoyed her music and voice since I was a little girl in a small settlement Kangâmiut. Thanks a lot to Miriam Makeba. ♥️
Hello ,how are you doing?
Amazing
Stokely Carmichael's wife..........RIP both of them and thank you.
Spirit of our fathers and mother's, love in us.
I saw Miriam Makeba in toronto
Another time her daughter joined her
Wonderful show
I love you !
Hermosas voces!!! Escucharlas me pone la piel de gallina. De pequeña escuche Pata Pata versión español y no supe de su intérprete original hasta que vi la película Serafina. Gran mujer Miriam Makeba.
I think that in every country they have a out standing artist.
Thanks for this uploading! Absolutely enjoyable
God bless Africa.
Viva Africa from Algeria
