Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata
Uploaded by: RaynerJM
Video Description:
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).

Tell a friend:














But she even died very early, aged at 25 in the early 80s.
Senzi, we'll never forget you!
Elle représentait toute la richesse africaine.
Qu'elle repose en paix.
Rest In Peace, Mama Afrika; we love you.
Saludos de Chile!
"She is gone",
There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"There she comes"
- and that is dying. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
