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.
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.
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.
. 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
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.
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! ❤
we had our favourite nanny, and for the life of me, we never once thought that we be hurting her feelings, whether we left or stayed - Im now almost 60 years old, and just learnt what its like to hear from your side - God bless for the enlightenment
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.
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 ❤️
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
I’m just saying if you’re the best child in the Lord He always will give wisdom to stand sternest indeed. I am glad to hear her voice and it makes my heart happy 🎉❤🎉.
Praise GOD He is still in Charge! and All Vengeance belong to Him. Thank you for this wonderful informative message, at this time when so much History is being erased. Blessings.❤
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.
+Tom Brutis You`re talking bout blood flesh and dna while i`m talking about souls.You are obviously light years from reality,you should bring more spirituality to your world.
Tienes un admirador acá en puerto rico hermosa mujer como me ubiera querido conocerte eras preciosa y una voz hermosa dejaste huellas en nuestros corazones descansa en paz nuestra mamá África ♥️
Grande Miriam sabes eras muy bonita y creo muy valiente si demasiado por esos tiempos bien duros más para mujeres aparte tu voz extraordinaria llevaste la verdad de tu país por el mundo si hasta Chayanne hizo dúo contigo muy bueno muchas gracias Miriam por lo buena eras bonita si y osada te enfrentaste a los hijos de gran Bretaña
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.
Anyone here ever read Lily Mabura's 'The Pretoria Conspiracy'? I think the character Nandi the Singer properly describes and represents Miriam Makeba...I really am proud of this great woman!!
I remember her mainly for that song at the end of the video, and it was with the news of her death that I learned more about her. Thanks for the video !!!
Great video! Wonderful woman. Powerful, moving, inspirational way with words. Beautiful voice indeed..so beautiful she changed lives and changed a country for the better with it. So much work to be done still...God Bless Africa! ..Your time will come..
GREATNESS HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA AFRICA GREATNESS IS IN YOU AN THE BLESSING OF GOD IS UPON YOU FOR ALL YOU DONE FOR SOUTH AFRICA GOD BLESS RIP. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
i wish to be just as amazing as the likes of mariam makeba .. my anty Thuaiba Allah yer7ema .. is having a blast with her up in heaven inshaallaah .. Allah yer7ema MarIAm mekeba ..
Africa the origin of mankind, Africa always remember the rest of the world that music existed since men started to interact with the surrounded environment. Africa always remember us that there is a purpose in all music for everything. Africa´s beat, Africa´s soul, Africa´s rhythm is in every single musician around the world, African music is in most of us since the beginnings of times
what a great documentary! Music, imagery used very well, thank you! Such an inspirational story. That we would have the same passion for our dear continent and use what the good Lord has given us to fight for its freedom, peace and welfare of our people.
A short and perfect description of her life...musical genius queen, revolutionary. Her Spirit lives on...
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.
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 😊😮
Me too 03/04/1958
hope one day this video will be viewed by millions

I grew up hearing her and hearing about her.not understood nothing and I took her for granted.
One of the greatest singers in history without a doubt

March 4th, 2021 would be 89 on this blessed historic day. Amen. Thank You Queen.
March 4th 2024 I'll be 67! May you keep marching forth!
The first African Woman to win a Grammy!!! Amazing!
Donna, Nera e nata in Sud Africa negli anni trenta e dell'Apartheid....un diamante nel deserto...meravigliosa

This lady should be an inspiration to all of us whatever our struggles
we had our favourite nanny, and for the life of me, we never once thought that we be hurting her feelings, whether we left or stayed - Im now almost 60 years old, and just learnt what its like to hear from your side - God bless for the enlightenment
Thank you, Mama Africa, for your remarkable courage, grace and talent! You were an earthly angel!
Renée-Paule Ella ✊🏿❤️🎶👸🏿💞👏🏿
Mariam Makeba was a great lady; unfortunately there is no other woman like her in South Africa today; it's a shame
There are many more like her, but the circumstances is different now.
Son Bleu est vraiment beau, à elle...!
Merci pour ce post, secouer les consciences n'est jamais vain!
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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
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.
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
Miriam Makeba did a huge amount for South Africa. I became a fan in 1960.
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.
Ms. Makeba I always thought was one the most BEAUTIFUL LADY OF SOUTH AFRICA WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT. REST IN PEACE
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
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.

Miriam Makeba tu vaux mieux que tout l'or et le pétrole de l'Afrique, ta vie un belle exemple ... L'Algerie ne t'oublie pas Miriam Makeba.
