Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 10 November 2008) was not only a singer with a remarkable voice, but a humanitarian who fearlessly spoke her mind and never let even personal traumatic events get in her way of fighting for the rights of the oppressed. She is known to millions all over the world as “Mama Africa”. Miriam Makeba is a singing legend and is someone who embodied everything good about the continent of Africa. She was stately, beautiful and had a strong personality. She is best known for her wonderful singing voice – once you have heard her singing, you will never forget her again. Internationally, the song that she is remembered for is “Pata Pata”, but in South Africa her most loved song is “The Click Song”.
