Miriam Makeba - Mama Afrika

Enjoy ~

[@dedal141]

One of the greatest singers in history without a doubt

[@intercat4907]

I was born in 1958. I missed her entirely, and that is what a segregated society costs its citizens. I just found the Click Song today. This is amazing.

[@user-de6df3jq8i]

I was born in 1958 too, remember my parents dancing to the song, just found the song by accident two days ago, I could not believe 😊😮

[@kathleankeesler1639]

Me too 03/04/1958

[@amoskatana702]

A short and perfect description of her life...musical genius queen, revolutionary. Her Spirit lives on...

[@toniacopebowley6348]

. Miriam Makeba is as relevant today in this Pandemic Era / Black Lives Matter era as she was in the SouthAfrican Apartheid time. So thankful for her life and stand. What an example

[@avrilhogarth]

This lady should be an inspiration to all of us whatever our struggles

[@stevielindsay8880]

I was blessed to have met Ms. Makeba “Mama” in Flint Michigan 1994. My Wife and I were allowed to spend time with she, her friends & family and Hugh Masekela. My life was richly blessed by this experience.

[@eypkel3165]

You should be really lucky

[@Karamel2233]

OK so there is one person who accidentally pressed the dislike button because surely he or she understood who Miriam Makeba was! Anyway, Miriam was absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful spirit. Thank God that he allowed us s short time with this Angel.

[@AjSjMusicNYNJ]

The first African Woman to win a Grammy!!! Amazing!

[@MalteseKat]

I grew up hearing her and hearing about her.not understood nothing and I took her for granted.

[@jirisvoboda1134]

hope one day this video will be viewed by millions

[@LuLuSantos-]

March 4th, 2021 would be 89 on this blessed historic day. Amen. Thank You Queen.

[@kathleankeesler1639]

March 4th 2024 I'll be 67! May you keep marching forth!

[@renee-pauleella1918]

Thank you, Mama Africa, for your remarkable courage, grace and talent! You were an earthly angel!

[@eliseh.7474]

What an amazing, wonderful, courageous woman. Such a beautiful, powerful voice. The apartheid system in South Africa was outrageous -- unforgivable, just so egregious. Humans are so inhumane, sometimes. ~ In a world where you can be anything, be kind ~ Miriam embodied goodness and kindness. And, that voice! ❤

[@user-ct8ej7kw2p]

When I was a young child Pata Pata was very popular in my neighborhood and home especially. We learned of Mariam Makeba's struggles with apartheid from ebony and jet magazines including her marriage to Stokely Carmichael. A blessed memory!!! er marriage to Stokely Carmichael.

[@lindal3841]

What a legend! If only more of our generation would aspire to be like her and others who have graciously paved the way for us to follow our dreams with our integrity intact. RIP Mama Afrika

[@mauronori165]

Donna, Nera e nata in Sud Africa negli anni trenta e dell'Apartheid....un diamante nel deserto...meravigliosa

[@gilbertikorong2636]

Mariam Makeba was a great lady; unfortunately there is no other woman like her in South Africa today; it's a shame

[@rosemarynylander9375]

There are many more like her, but the circumstances is different now.

[@ngoziakalanne6628]

What a wonderful tribute. Miriam was a legand. I'll love her forever. Rest in peace dear lady your songs and contributions will live on forever

[@ahibbyki1]

All I can say is respect to Miriam Makeba, respect to her music, respect to her as a human being and artist

[@methods5873]

Man, never new African music could be so beautiful, i fell in love with her vocals. She truly deserve a solo movie based on her life.

[@fredeokolo8717]

The South Africa that Miriam Makeba presented on the world stage when i watched her in February 1977 during FESTAC in Lagos is totally different from the South Africa that has emerged today.

[@KlaraMoody]

Miriam Makeba one Great Women much admired by myself for years...It was my greatest joy to see her life in West Australia .. (Perth) some years ago

[@brightlyvianney9765]

OMG, I just knew all this while that she's a musician but I never knew she has gone through so much and has done so much for Africa😭😭😭 I'm crying so much at how her mom died, I'm sorry 😭😭😭 RIP Mama Africa ❤️

[@alexiajazz]

I have just come back from the cinema where there is now Miriam Makeba - Mama Africa, the documentary showing. I learnt so much about this phenomenal woman. The movie is a journey of powerful and joyous music that explores the plight of her people. As a black artist freely traveling the world and singing my songs in freedom I feel uterly humbled and proud of this African woman who paved the way for me and fellow artists world wide!

[@chakalaks]

What a moving tribute to a legend, an icon and a mother to Africa!! Through her efforts and others, I am able to live in a free South Africa as a young woman, something she was denied. Siyabonga mama, RIP.

[@paulgleitman7754]

Magnificent,just magnificent.First saw her with Belafonte in the sixties and several times thereafter.A giant in the entertainment world ,a giant for human rights.Sadly missed.

[@aaliyahshakil4665]

[@Sh3570]

She is a Legend. A Star! Thank you for showcasing this great Treasure! I hate Hollywood but there needs to be a movie about this amazing soul.

[@YourAnjl]

She was a wonderful artist and human being. RIP, Mama Africa.

[@txtrang2515]

People right now complain about mundane problems. People like Makeba & other black, brown, and other ethnic people who were alive before the 70s, experienced REAL struggles. I feel so blessed for those who fought against apartheid, communism, socialism directly.

[@governormadea5937]

So proud to be born in the same country as such inspirational women like these

[@mkworkman]

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. On 4 March 2013, Google honored her with a Google Doodle on their homepage.

[@somendrasharma4907]

Hey! Super awesome of you french to now come and commend people who were oppressed. malheureusement, c'est une blague! Still trying to deal with the shhhht that EU caused on the the world. Speaking from a different world not far from yours (in terms of astronomical distances) but vastly different. I am a R-cist and I should have the right to be because I am skilled but poor. Learned but poor. Mature but poor. and honestly, it is only because my ancestors were gullible and humble fellows.

[@irilanka]

I am so proud of you People Much love for you and Makeba💕💗💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🎶✨
