My tears are swelling in my eyes too. Having met her I can only recall a lady with such intelligence grace and eloquence . No University can teach that. As a people should learn to give credit where it's due and not be overtaken by foreign ideals. I feel she never got the credit she deserved. May her spirit hover over our land and instill values and integrity in us for her fight and many others like her to not be in vain. Aluta Continua!!! This can
Its pain full to see how that other African people have sacrificed their life so that the entire nation may be free in our mother land , but when one person at the top (President) will decide to be a sellout just for money while the entire nation suffers. This is shame to those who fought the oppressive system which was imposed on us as African by the europeans.
I was deeply moved when I listened to this interview. Makena has always been a childhood hero of mine, and her songs were a big part of my life. I didn't realize that she had been banned from mainstream media because of her choice of spouse. Even though I was just a Venezuelan kid who adored Miriam's music, I have grown up and still hold her in high regard. This makes me feel connected to her and her experiences, as we are all part of a global community that continues to expand and intertwine every day.
Her book is very sad. Exile. Cancer scare, Domestic violence, oppressive apartheid system, daughter's death. Grandson's death. She has been through a lot. RIP
I read that book when I was in my own self imposed exile in Britain in 2004. I could relate so much to the things she wrote. I really missed South Africa then and I'm glad I returned in 2008.
Very painful to look at this interview. Despite the large smile on this legend woman's face, you could perceive deep sadness in her heart. Very awful for me to see that. We don't have this kind courage in 21st century anymore.
She makes me cry ...it`s a kind of soul so sheer & fresh ...you can't avoid love her. ....and I knew about her existence just 2 months ago ....while about Mandela I always knew .... I had heard her song "pata pata" in 60s but I associated it with Belafonte only .... God bless her soul.
I love listening to Miriam Makeba talk and express herself about what pains her and what rejoices her. "Political analysts" in imperialist media will try to confuse us, make things look very articulate, but at the core of oppression is something very violent, direct. Listening to her subjectivity gives the most important things to know about what is sold to us as "geopolitics": what happens to someone who's oppressed, robbed and deprived of their rights. I saw a picture of Makeba and Kwame Ture together as young fighters. Their energy lives on forever
I am so happy to learn more about this lovely lady I loved n adore from a child, I first heard her music when I was six years old. I sang her songs in my own little way, I was obsessed with her music until this very day. I love you Ms Makeba n thank you for the legacy you have left behind.
@O M Making an independent movie for example, is not dependent on anything "white." There are legitimate movies today (i.e. Annual Black Film Festivals) that don't care about a mainstream audience or other demographics. Paradigm shift: Make the movie, show it to the audience that pays to see it...archive it for future generations, simple it's done - seen later by every African needing/wanting an educational boost. If other ethnicities want to see it so be it. No, her story should not be watered down by Anglo-Saxon's, but a broader Afrocentric vision doesn't even consider or depend on others or Hollywood's quest for broader market appeal. Signed: Not Just Talking
That is a very hood and noble idea...inspiring action. This was a name heard while growing up, but never knowing what "the name" really meant...beyond, "Oh, that's a singer with a record, people seem to think she's hip...ok, now back to the Motown sound." Thank you for the idea.
@O M My orthodontist was the distributor if the movie, "Tge Spook Who Sat by the Door." He got it done out the can to the public. The here is, a movie that pays homage to the African Diaspora. dies not have to be a commercial market intent venture. It also does not have ve made in America. It could win awards for Best Foreign Film. Africa produces tons of movies at high technical and commercial quality (i.e. Nollywood refers to the Nigerian film industry.)" The work-arounds in a world filled with European values, are defined by still doing things aligned with your own values, and not drawn into putting "their values" with or in front of your interests and priorities. There are movie makers in South Africa who could create an epic documentary about her African roots, to birth, to exile...to rebirth in popular culture appreciation. Everything typed here will be a part of a treatment plan, sent to studios. We need not wish for others to act first. It is not hard and pays homage and respect to our Diaspora freedom fighter.
Thank you for posting the interview. One of the most wonderful voices in the world, one of the most courageous women ever, and so beautiful. It restores my faith in humanity.. that we can overcome all differences, just by the power of words music song.
O the irony. Makeba was embraced by the west when she spoke of the wrongs of south africa and its apartied system. She marries a man who is fighting against a similar struggle in the west and she is blacklisted.
This hurts a lot, i'v watched some of her interviews and I'v realized she was an intelligent intellect. What makes my tears fall out of my eye sockets is to hear from how deep she had to drough her courage out of a situation that was not presenting any better option for her than harden herself both physically n emotionally for perseverance against all odds. It breaks a heart to see how people can be deprived of their own right to live free from where they stem. It's more like being innocently sentenced to death. Rest in peace Mama Africa, your legacy will live on to liberate the world.
Standing against oppression takes courage. She may have suffered consequences, but I'm sure she was able to look herself in the mirror. She did her fair share in the fight.
Research her...she is actually one of our most dedicated: "Charlayne Hunter-Gault (born February 27, 1942) is an American civil rights activist, journalist and former foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, CNN, and the Public Broadcasting Service." Peace and Love
@@theraceanalystphdprovingha4119 Maybe she was but CNN is always behind an hidden agenda and PBS shows oppressed Black History to continue to make Black People feel inferior, many who were black leaders were found to be sell outs in the end. I'm looking at this lady and this interview for myself and she did have an uplifting spirit during their conversation. All her questions seemed geared towards depression and oppression as if she wanted to see her cry. And I'm sure those questions were giving to her by the producers who were probably racist. Sorry I'm not buying it.
@@theraceanalystphdprovingha4119 the interviewer Mrs. C Gault is married to a Caucasian Man who had a racist family. Gault always wanted to be accepted into White Society while claiming to represent African Americans maybe she had a heart of gold but her desire to be known in Society came at a high cost. She eventually married a black well to do banker who had the Money Honey when they lived in S.A. for time she saw how blacks across the diaspora similarly suffered at the hands of white supremacy.
Unless we create United States of Africa there is no hope.some people believe post colonialism but we are still in neocolonialism . black brothers sisters we must fight we should stand for our freedom .we can't pass this thing to our children
Individualism vs. The African Structure of Family. That is why any form of negotiation absent of TRUTH, expired unconditionally when Canada turned by son into a political tool. That was the day the game ended, regardless of what Canada does going forward. That reality can no longer be avoided no matter what Canada proposes including money or love.
I'm sitting here in tears. This woman had more courage and strength than entire nations of people.

She left Africa..Africa never left from her heart. RIP mama
She didn’t leave Africa, the Apartheid regime banned her from returning to her home
Afrika will do that to you
We are all exiles.from our ancestral home
She always exudes such confidence and humility perfectly blended.
C e l t e
@@lincolnoliveira3041 what does that mean, pray tell?
A woman with such elligance, grace and beauty
She is more well spoken than 99% of native English speakers. Speaks very slowly and clearly. Every word matters. Beautiful soul. Mama Africa.
She was a rare gem. A gift to the world whose name shall exist in perpetuity.
If people could see and watch people like mama talking am sure this World will be a better place to live.
Rest in Peace mama
100%❤👊🏽

The interviewer was shady. However Mama Makeba answered every question with Power and Integrity!
