All of Africa who are music lovers and over 50 must have remembered and loved this beautiful song. I'm Nigerian but this music along with the Ipitombi introduced me to the lovely melodies out of South Africa! Rest on Mama Africa!
Talk for you, I am 66 ans I always knew her, and I dance on that song so many time, IT is you who d'ont know, Do you think we start just today to talk about Them,? We always défend their rights,
Miriam Makeba is a born and bred South African - best export to the USA! She is singing in Xhosa for those who need to know - I am a proud South African and love our music! 😍😍❤❤❤
I'm Swedish. When I was in middle school we used to sing this song in music class. Today, I read a book for my daughter: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls - 100 tales of extraordinary women. I read about Miriam Makeba and her song "pata pata" was mentioned as her most celebrated song. I immediately knew. It's been 30 years since I heard it. I immediately put it on and DANCED! I still know the words!! Love it ❤️ Thank you Africa. Thank you Miriam 👋🏽
estou aqui pelo now united. amo demais esse grupo, e adorei que eles querem puxar outros públicos. a música é bela e espero que seja bem investida pelo grupo. 🇿🇦♥️
Imagine all the horrible memories from her childhood in apartheid South Africa, and here she is singing joyfully for us. I bow down to the heroism of people like Miriam Makeba.
Be at peace child, and know that your Mama loved you, and that is best thing that any parent can give a child. Always remember that, and stay prayed up and be blessed.
@Adebiyi Toun I too, do the same thing. I cry, and I smile. I laugh and rejoice as well. And the best part of it is knowing, I am her child. She has been entertaining the most wonderful Angels, in the absolute most beautiful sky's. Hugs to you my dear.
@Actual Rat She lived through it, and her music was listened to by the people that eventually saw the downfall of apartheid. The heroes and heroines did see freedom.
Essa mulher era um furacão, um vulcão, um terremoto. Era o calor escaldante do solo rachado e seco da mãe África, a força dos ventos da savana, a resistência dos excluídos. Tinha a beleza, o vigor, e a coragem da mulher preta, guerreira, talentosa, linda, feliz. Marcou sua geração com o seu talento, e a sua voz aveludada, doce, afinada, mas muito vigorosa. Salve, Miriam 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ms Makeba was very pretty in this vid, and she just got even more beautiful as she aged. She was definitely a Queen back then, and she never lost a gram of royalty, nor half gram in talent. Her music and laughter will go on forever.
Always loved her since I was a little girl, so has millions of "white" South Africans!!! Music speaks to the soul and knows no race or language but listens with open hearts and appreciates every beautiful voice like Miriam'. Wish everyone will stop riding this "racist/apartheid's horse, look forward and build the future. My ancestors also suffered "apartheid" from the British. I honour Miriam's memory and still enjoy her beautiful voice.
Ella es Miriam de su pata pata ella la protagonista de todas las músicas de África Esa es la misma Tiene bastantes años ya arriba pero esa es la que ha hecho falta para todos nos llama amiga en la luz
I am! I learned of this song by some way a few years back and just heard a couple dazzling African kids on Tik Tok I follow do somet very similar. Brought me back to it and I had to hear it again.
My dad played this when I was a sophomore in 2012. It took up to today for Google Search a Song to find this song! I didnt know the name, the lyrics or the language it was in . I hummed it and it came up!!. What a wonderful surprise , in remembrance to my daddy. RIP
On this international women's day, I chose to listen to songs from women who shaped our lives both artistically, socially, intellectually, and economically.
This song came out in the 60's, it was posted here 8 years ago, looks like people are enjoying it everyday because there are comments everyday! That's amazing. Beautiful song, makes ya want to move and be free!!
My grandparents had a copy of this record and every time my mom would take me to visit as a kid I would always play it. Decades later as an adult I traveled to South Africa and one day, while wandering through the craft booths at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, GUESS what song comes on? I start laughing, thinking about this coincidence. Then I start singing, doing my best to imitate the !Xhosa lyrics, and the vendors start looking at me and smiling.
Me - April 2024 in London. After just finishing breast cancer treatment I watched her today on a Paul Simon 2012 documentary about Graceland. She appears. I remembered this song and searched for it. She also had breast cancer and defeated it. Amazing how she continues to inspire globally and multi culturally long after her death from a heart attack in 2008.
Oh my god! The moment she started dancing I smiled so wide and danced with her! Beautiful voice and a more beautiful person! I thank the algorithm for making me discover Miriam Makeba!
Oh my goodness. I cried watching this. I've heard this song before but never knew what it was or who. This woman is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I am mesmarized. That smile, her aroura, her voice. Just WOW. As a young black American woman I feel so much joy seeing these comments appreciating this woman's beauty (as her form of beauty isn't really celebrated here ) and her talent from all over the world. I hope you are resting in peace , you beautiful African Queen ❤️❤️❤️.
You're not the only one. I'm here, too I really love this song. I grew up listening to it. Oh God, it means good memories I love. Yes, I love it. A treasure! March 25, 2024 ❤🎉😊
@@manfredheck3529 Wow and my childhood since the 70's and 80's. I think the person updated or reposted because it wasn't getting any traction. I shared on FB quite a few times. She's a legend and her music makes you feel like a dream.
I saw her live in 1969 in Detroit. She was on a show with some of the giants of American Jazz at the time. On the show were giants like Ramsey Lewis and Jimmy Smith. She had an accordian player with her, and stole the show. I remember thinking "an accodian, really!!??" But when she sang and he played, it was game over. They brought the house down!!!
@@18012009 Back in those days there were no cell phones and cameras of any kind were prohibited at concerts. I wish it were recorded too, because i would love to see it again. Even more so I wish I could have seen the faces of the other stars back stage.
Oh Miriam makeba your like will never be seen or heard again. Out of hard places you had grace beauty and talent as only a real African woman can have. …I saw you once in concert Nothing compares to that night. I was 12 years then ..I am well past 70 now. You are my queen of song and grace. You will live forever thank you for the magic
The curtsy she does at the end.. That is an African thing African women have done since beginning of time, everyone learned from Africa. She was absolutely gorgeous!
This woman was a beautiful great legend. Diana Ross was never great or beautiful. This great lady was for black peoples. Diana Ross Family is now white in appearance. Plus her Ross singing was awful. She had a studio voice.
All time fave for all time, such a beautiful voice, I was 7 when she was featured on Ed Sullivan. She was one of the pioneers bringing African roots music to the world.
My wife and I went to Israeli folk dancing in the early 70's and when this song was played every one us jumped up singing and dancing to this song. Music crosses many barriers.
When I was a kid my parents, brothers and sisters always pushed me into dancing Pata Pata. I still have those memories and as I listen to Miriam Makeba I start remembering those days. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Panama.
My mother played this song in my baby years born 1963. Hunted this sound for years I called it the popcorn song. I'm black speak only English so to my ears she was saying aye popcorn popcorn. Pata Pata. Momma gone memory still alive.
I had the opertunity to back up marian Makeba as the bass guitar player in 1974 with the prince geno and the Taylor made band in Baltimore maryland,and at the construction hall in Washington Dc.She was definitely a good performer. RIP SIS
