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

[@denisebetegh7659]

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

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

[@JMiltonLIVE_Concert_Videos]

A great cover to the Legendary Miriam Makeba (RIP) Afro Pop hit of the 1960's, I seen this performance on PBS by the International Grammy Award Winner Angelique Kidjo, she's so amazingly energetic. Still listening 03/23/2020! 💖it.....

[@mikeanderson7962]

MIND BLOWING!!!! She turned my frown into a HUGE smile in less than one second!!! I can FEEL her SPIRIT in the deepest parts of my soul!!!! What an uplifting GIFT to humanity!!!

[@masegothebe3351]

Im proud of u angelique.... ....dammmmmmmm🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦👊

[@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.

[@Zulu369]

The best cover of Myriam Makeba's classic that I have ever heard.

[@timothmwakakusyu4563]

Ofcoz

[@brunhildeconrad4010]
