Sinead O'Connor - Mandinka (Official Music Video)

[@awabooks9886]

This refrain has always given me chills, now mixed with tears. RiP, Sinéad: You called out abuse by the Catholic Church before most anyone else, and you paid dearly for it. Thank you for being a trailblazer ⚔️

[@Unknown-jt1jo]

She spoke truth to power on many other occasions: the UK's imperialism towards Ireland (and other countries), US warmongering, etc. She was an honest, courageous woman.

[@RoisinElektra]

🤍💞yes

[@bonedust82]

I went to catholic school my whole time as a kid and totally got it even back then. My 5th grade teacher, a former nun abused the boys in my class. People back then said bullshit. She (Sinéad) NAILED it. It's messed up, it should've never come to that. Predators need to be outed.

RIP Sinead O'Connor. This was the first song of hers I heard, as it was for many people. Blew me away at the time.

[@paulatelling9514]

Same here. What a voice.

[@Meowminx]

Yes, it was for me too and it became an instant favourite of mine

[@joanbecenti8938]

I was 12 or 13 when this video came on in Jan. 1988. I was like, "Who is this"? Totally blew me away.

[@auntielisalisabopeepsa]

My absolute favorite song 🎧 by Sinéad O’Connor. RIP 😢🙏🏼🍃🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹

[@scottbowers4075]

my GF at the time had me go out and buy the CD the same day we heard the song on a radio station out of Atlanta, 99X. Great talent gone too soon.

R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor not only a prolific artist but a courageous woman taking on the Catholic church. Your presence will be missed deeply ❤❤❤❤ xx

[@generaldissatisfaction5397]

Yet she never challenged islam? She was an A grade hypocrite.

[@somethingelse9535]

[@Natedawg38]

Sinead sang this at the grammys with nothing but a buzzcut, casual clothes and a public enemy insignia on the side of her head while she painted the entire building with rock n roll. THAT was Sinead. Afterwards the camera cut to INXS, and every one of them looked in love.

[@amelie5525]

fun fact michael hutchence and sinead where friends!

[@cosmicstargazer10]

I can't believe, in 22 days, it's been a year, since we lost this powerhouse of humanity. I'll always love & miss you, Shuhada' Sadaqat, a.k.a. Sinead O'Connor. Your talent, huge, your social-conscience, enormous, your cultural impact, gigantic. That you are now resting, at peace, in no more pain, with your beloved son, Shane, it is the only thing that brings your fans, no doubt your family & friends, too, any comfort at all. One:LOVE.

[@adamc8627]

She had a real journey, she will be a social icon in every way.

RIP Sinead. You were part of my generation and many others. Your music will live on forever. 😢❤

[@joeyj6808]

Sinead had a natural beauty that just refined as she aged. And her voice was gorgeous! I'm sad for us that she left so soon, but happy that she blazed so bright while she was with us. Where ever you are, Tear It Up and Raise Hell!

Everyone bangs on about Nothing Compares To You written by Prince and while it's good, I always thought Mandinka was a better track which she wrote herself

I just finished writing a brief homage to you in my novel, whose main character is a really strong and independent woman who, very much like you, has to fight her demons her entire life. Thank you for being such a great inspiration. I will never forget you.

[@anthonytopp1048]

She spoke to expose those that others could not! Fight the real enemy! God bless her cotton socks…R.I.P.

[@frisk151]

Pretty sure we can (hopefully) agree there are some voices that are truly unique and iconic... Irreplaceable.. Sinead is unique like this.. Layne Staley absolutely is as well.. RARE voices and energy... P.S. YUP.. I've posted here a number of times and will continue..

[@stainyourconcrete]

Thank you Sinead, in 1986 I played this video 20 times in a row at a party just floored by the words and the power of the song. Thank you for making history.

[@tonyleong4961]

The Lion and the Cobra really stunned me. Brilliant debut album... She was undoubtedly talented, singer, musician, song writer... But she was also incredibly outspoken and didn't have a lot of allies after speaking out on a number of issues like the Catholic Church. She's had a very challenging career due to her refusal to compromise or stop being outspoken. I don't think you can separate her from that part of her spirit though; it made her who she was after all. I hope she is doing well - luckily, Sinead will always exist through her music.

[@fmcm7715]

This and Scorn not his Simplicity are my favourites of Sinéads many songs. May she rest in peace now forever with her son again😢

I was 19 in 1986 and i just got crazy when i heard this song fot the first time and right there she became one of my idols. Funny thing is she was born in december 1966 and i was born in august 1967. Now i know from where we got our rebellious ways of doing things and breaking rules. Bless you Sinead. Much love from Brussels.
