Even this pasty white girl from California grew up hearing this song. Miriam Makeba would be so proud of Angelique. What a timeless song.

[@deem2024]

She was not lying when she said if you don’t know the song, you weren’t living on earth. Used to hear this song very long time ago in Haiti 🥰🥰🥰

[@daniellagilles8841]

This is so freaky!! To my very close friends, I am Dee and am posted in Haiti presently!! I flipped when I saw your comment!!

[@tennehfromayan6387]

Dee M she is beautiful

[@CURRELYJACQUES]

I knew this song when I was Haiti

[@gillianlandry283]

I had the privilege of seeing Myriam Makeba singing that song when my parents were in Guinea Conakry where Mrs Makeba was in exile.

[@TheMeloman79]

Dee M heard and danced on it in Mauritius

[@EleanorWhite-xh7jm]

Fantastic. Keeping Miriam alive. Thank you Angelique. Getting through breast cancer in London with difficult marriage and this song played and remembered on bbc radio 4 today has brought me so much joy today.

[@mbrunowocn]

I get that!

[@bidimensionalart2192]

This song was a hit in Puerto Rico when I was a teenager! I'm now 60.

We partied to this in high school in South-Afrika - Miriam Makeba

[@rosean374]

A lot of countries never exposed their school children to other world cultures unfortunately.

[@MercyAluMusic]

Thankyou legendary Mama Africa Miriam Makeba from South Africa original owner of this wonderful song!!! Thankyou Angelique for keeping the light burning

[@murielmwamba2565]

PATA PATA was written by her friend Dorothy Masuka. She wrote many songs for Miriam Makeba.

[@gracefulindeed6091]

​@@murielmwamba2565😮

[@kijekuyo9494]

I adore this and Ms Makeba's performance. KZbin's auto translation identified the language as "Native". Native what? I'll bet if she were singing in French, it wouldn't have been identified as "native." By the way, I think it is sung in Xhosa.

[@dosmafmony694]

So proud To be an african and beninese like Her. God bless you dear Angélique

[@heavenheaven9134]

She is the physical Manifestation of living your best life.

Angelique's interaction with the audience is catchy. She has total control of their attention. That's capturing writ large.
