Harry Belafonte Feat. Miriam Makeba - Malaika
Loading...
Uploaded by Makbelly on Dec 17, 2008
Malaika, which means "Angel" in Swahili, was a song first recorded by Kenyan musician Fadhili William and his band Jambo Boys in 1960. It was later re-recorded at Equator Sound Studios by the British-born Kenyan music promoter Charles Worrod, who marketed the ballad to eventually becoming an internationally acclaimed song. The song went on to be popularised by international artists such as Helmut Lottie, Hep Stars, Rocco Granata, Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, Boney M and Angélique Kidjo.

My 6 year old daughter is called Malaika. I was told about this song by a paediatrician at Homerton Hospital, London in November 2004 when my daughter was 2 months old: I'd never heard of it before. I remember coming home and googling it. Needless to say, I fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. As for my daughter, she always asks if the song was written about her (I wish it was!) She really is my angel and we will always love this song.

@MINNIE1260 It's true. I don't understand Swahili but the melody and the voices brings tear to my eyes. The legends like Harry Belafonte & Miriam Makeba are heaven sent to give us beautiful songs. God Bless
