[@lenobarbosa1149]

Miriam Makeba born March 4, 1932 in Johannesburg, South Africa and died November 9, 2008 in Castel Volturno, Italy, is an ethno-jazz singer and a South African political activist, She is sometimes nicknamed "Mama Afrika" and her full name is Zenzile Makeba Qgwashu Nguvama. Forced into exile for thirty years, she travels the world and multiplies the musical success. It becomes especially one of the voices against apartheid and for the pride of the African continent. She returned to South Africa in 1990.

I guess it’s because France, and European countries in general, have the mentality that music, movies,etc., are art and not just entertainment.

Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November 2008), also known as Mama Africa, was a South African singer, actor, United Nations goodwill ambassador, and civil rights activist. Associated with musical genres including Afropop, jazz, and world music, she was an advocate against apartheid and white-minority government in South Africa.

[@siobhannicfhlannchadha1247]

Thanks for the info, I was just about to google the meaning!

[@ixussa]

Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata watch?v=Zq5S5sH1Ikk Her most famous song, every South African loves it "Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata" The part I like about Pata Pata the most is the click in "uh .. sah-gu- *click* -koo-gah" ("Sagu *q* uga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata") Xhosa has three different click sounds in their language, which most second language speakers never really get right. -- EDIT: just realized I got to grow up with good music of the 80s... There is plenty of awesome music out there, especially electronic music... but the mainstream TOP40 like Katy Perry is empty and lacks substance. Personally prefer Brenda Fassie to Makeba ... both way better than mainstream stuff now watch?v=_7Fyoo_2XnE

[@nastatchia]

Who doesn't know Myriam Makeba????!!!! I am shocked! It's like when people didn't know who Cesaria Evora was. Listen to the "click song" and look at what she did. This mama Africa would probably not like the singer and her very poor song compare to the master she was herself, nor Jain's father who was working in oil in Africa, that Makeba has denounced her life, stealing ressources with terrible consequences like we see today with the refugee crisis.

Plus on avance dans le temps, et plus cela devient difficile d'être original en matière de composition musicale. Tout comme Chris, que j'apprécie aussi, elles nous montrent que la création n'a pas de limite. Pour finir, pardon d'être un peu chauvin, mais qu'elles soient françaises me fait grand plaisir.

depends on what you like the most xD. Most of the people I know started with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden... Some well know bands actually have some metal songs, like Led Zeppelin or AC/DC.
