Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata

Back


Today monday 10 November 2008 we mourn the death of Miriam Makeba. Hamba Kahle Mama Africa! I was fortunate and very privileged to have had a chance to see her in concert in Holland just a few days ago, last wednesday evening in Tilburg and last friday in Amsterdam. She was at her very best and will be greatly missed. As a son of South Africans living in exile during the dark days of apartheid i grew up with her music. In this clip, which i first posted 2 years ago, Miriam Makeba sings her most famous song Pata Pata during a performance in the VARA TV-studios in Holland, 1979. Joining her on stage towards the end of the song is her granddaughter Zenzi. Zenzi's mother (the late Bongi Makeba) is one of the backing vocalists (in the blue dress).

in the early 90's my father brought her greatest hits album and I took it over for months! I love her sound, her spirit and her message... and to think she was never allowed to go back to her homeland that she sang so beautifully about. Rest in Peace Mama Africa from JES and Family

I never music like this existed then. I bought her album. She had a lot of talent and beauty and joy to offer the world.
