Miriam Makeba - Mama Afrika

[Neroscot]

Racist thinking are a disgrace ! Lovely woman !

[drummerjacob]

faced with adversary? isnt it, 'adversity?'

[tloutle50]

Very well done. I am a Miriam Makeba no 1 fan through and through and this was worthy of her work. Thank you. Side note: she said she would be happy if she died singing and although her passing is so sad for all of us, she died doing what she loved the most.

[tuba274]

rip mama

[tkastania]

Thank you so much for a beautiful tribute with a brief history of Miriam Makeba's life!

[dollymaud]

A truly wonderful tribute to an amazing woman.

[GoBuildAWorld]

May her quest for justice be reincarnated in our hearts.

Therefore, class can either be meaningless or it can be evaluated by comparing the moral choice of the least advantage with their decision making process in relative to society standard, given that the choice from the least advantage would have been more elastic when face with no constraint from a power house. peoplebreeze com

[Pubupa]

@acbaldo1 you are most welcomed to come back to our beautiful country, I hope you are enjoying ur MM CD's.

1love

[bapyou]

Beautiful lady, beautiful soul. Only free souls are beautiful. The souls of jailers and oppressors are forever ugly and brutal, living in cages of hatred and fear. Most Americans are ugly and brutal disgusting pigs, sending nothing but death, hatred and fear across the globe. Just as South Africa's apartheid system came to an end, the ugly brutal American Empire will also end.

[msayofemi1]

well atleast when she said she was going to retire she did not lie hehe... wlel we will miss her but i guess she was tired so she wnated to retire permanently butbefore she went she did all she could do entertain us and our country and support us in anyway she could just like a mother supports and helps her children before she goes and prepares them for the world so was she with mzantsi rip miriam makeba!

[puppymaiden]

Where can i found the orginal video of her performance, the one that is shown at the beggining of the video!!! Please I love that version of that song!

[bevybeee]

The very first song on this video is Baxabene Oxamu which can be found on the album Sangoma

[anakesmortem]

@bevybeee although this version is different from the one in the album, where is this one from?

[acbaldo1]

Thanks so much for sharing this video. I went to South Africa last year (2010) after I fell in love with Miriam Makeba's songs. I almost bought the whole stand of MM's CDs and DVD at the O. R. Tambo International Airport. That visit to SA is not going to be my first and last. The country also captured my heart.

[sharmstrachan]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tribute to Miriam Makeba. I was just teaching my daughter (10yrs.) the Pata, Pata song that my gramma taught me. This song she now loves and wanted to know the story of Mama Afrika.... I could not have told it any better.... THANK YOU FOR PERSERVING THIS WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY!!!!

[jayjay25924]

White people have done awful things to their own, and so have black people. All the nations have. Looking at it as a black/white issue is missing the point; it boils down to the individual, what each of us believes; there are white people angry about this, too. But throwing around blame is a waste of energy. Focus on affecting change around you instead. Myself included :)

[Cetverous]

Thank you Maman Makeba !

I am white man but my soul is african.Good bye Mama !

[gemmisco]

Thanks for video...

[ZuluMuntu]

She fought more for us than Nelson Mandela.

[RDWinthrop]

Very nice work ~ thanks.

[firexeye]

Thank you!

I had no idea! My middle name is Makiba after this woman (I don't know why Mom decided to spell it differently) and I really didn't know who she was so I looked up some songs and came upon this. I had no idea she was such a phenomenal icon in history! I mean I'd never even heard of her until a couple of years ago when my mom told me who i was named after. I'm grateful for the insight

[esoterik259]

Great video. What song is being played from 1:05-2:45? It's a really beautiful slow song.

[transformed122]

@esoterik259 Where does it lead

[msayofemi1]

@esoterik259 its called ndodemyama verwoerd

[Tambu1415]

White is a color we do not control, I do not like being grouped with people who did such terrible things. Racist of ANY kind is bad. No form is acceptable. Do not let the past (and current) hardships affect your view of the true nature of people, regardless of their color.

[Sindrassa]

tequilla333 youre saying what i am thinking i must say i feel shamed being white shamed that i live in europe shamed that most probaly never white people will do something about it and never saying sorry we fucked the world up.

Grtz Sindrassa

[Tambu1415]

@Sindrassa Do not be ashamed, we cannot control many things. Be proud that you stand up to your own morals.

[silverpooh24]

I really like this. Good job transformed122 very nice.

[belizeambushgal]

KIDIGE hukuwaza KIDIGE.

REAT IN PEACE MAMA.

NONE CAN HARM YOU NOW.

THANKS FOR OPENING OUR EYES.

[timasaida]

This is an awesome documenary!

[nashiraecuador]

very nice documentary! she was truly awesome, the greatest

[pnaomiw]

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.

[PinkAdorableCheetaah]

She is so beautiful and strong! She truly was Mama Afrika

[Xx7anoonxX]

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 ..

[candyinlondon81]

africanpple have really come frm a long way...

[maxy104]

i love the first song. whats its name? dude from jamaica

[SchibbixToiletGear]

"Oxgam" by her. dude from germany

[pleeniemellegers]

Good video, but it's rather annoying (almost disrespectful?) that the narrator keeps referring to her as "MAriam MakebO."

[belizeambushgal]

OH MY MY I'V BEEN LOOKING 4 THAT SONG AT 5:11 FOREVER. could someone please post it. And I'm also tryin to find Iyagaduza, I recently saw it on the africa channel but was too mesmerized to record it. I'd so much love to hear it.

Thank you.

PEACE.

[acbaldo1]

Thank you very much for this video. I did not know an angel by the name of Miriam Makeba existed until just a few weeks ago when I was browsing about the song Forbideen Games. from that time every spare time I have is spent in Youtube listening to Miriam Makeba's songs. Though I don't understand some of them being a Filipino-Australian I just love her heavenl;y voice.

[gianka9574]

molto bello......

[MsBotshelo]

a great singer south africa once had

[themuffinman69]

I am not black but this is one of the times I wish I could say I was not white

[AFROTHINKER]

@themuffinman69 DonT SAY THAT MY BROTHER!!!

We are all the same but man creates division. Just love your neighbors and help those in need.

Jah Bless!!!!

[elizabel77]

why do we hurt the ones we should love???????

[elizabel77]

pride knows no clour according to the supreme being...

[elizabel77]

racism and discrimination rules the world all over unfortunately

[Kwekwe]

Splendid video, top class. RIP Mama Africa, thanks for sharing uploader.

[jayjayblackgirl]

white people spoilt africa

[tequilla333]

i wonder why white people are so greedy and destroyed so many tribes, nations and places. it's terrible, that they were so shameless to come to Africa and made african people slavers in their own home. i feel ashamed and i hope that future generations will grow wise.

[Ryan3789]

@tequilla333 greed isn't limited to white people. Sadly, greed is the driving force of civilization, it's what drives the world. It's the trait that makes us human. There are other traits that make us human, but greed is what separates us from other animals =/

[raachel24biilson]

@tequilla333 negroes used to enslave other negroes too you know

[Adjei88]

@raachel24biilson when you go to war against a rival tribe or ppl when you won u wud gain slaves and make them slaves, i'm prettty sure that happened with the english and scottish for example, but under colonialism, there was an understanding worlwide that negroes as you call them where nothing else but slaves, to own a black person as i would call them, was to own a slave, there were a possession and nothing else

[gemmisco]

@tequilla333 you the excuse when they just came to Africa was that God couldn't have put a soul in the such black skin. We African surely were considered as animal and then slaves...

[Quiteness]

@tequilla333

Today African people bend over ass backwards for the same colonizers that destroyed their homelands and traditions. African girls strive to look as white as possible, to the point that most of them look ridiculous. The ultimate validation for them is to have a white man tell them they are beautiful.

[JusticeNature]

@tequilla333 Africa today faces similar challanges. This time, international corporations, International Governments, criminal leaders and dictators all conspire to continually rob and abuse africa (specifically where countries have natural resources). There is case after case after case. Africa should not need any aid whatsoever. Africa needs fairness and to be treated like human beings.

[parisis1987]

@tequilla333: White people of that time were not intelligent, they were like animals; didn't know what human right means.... Future generations will be better than our genarations, i'm sure :)

[blakdog90]

@tequilla333 because money is their god

[blakdog90]

what a beautiful woman

[sudanesgal]

@jayjayblackgirl girl they want to take over africa ,

white people made africa the black continent becuse of the struggle they put us through .

[karmafunk2008]

@jayjayblackgirl I apologise on behalf of all the whites who still hang their heads in shame for what our ancestors have done.

[MsBhammond]

Thank You So Much!
