Tribute to Mama Africa & Playlist for 11.13.2008—Nado

A tribute to Mama Africa
Miriam Makeba, who brought African music to the world years before world music became fashionable, died this past weekend in Italy, where she was performing in solidarity for 6 Ghanaen immigrants who were shot killed in a small town near the southern city of Naples.

Miriam Makeba collapsed on stage after singing one of her most famous hits, "Pata Pata". Affectionately called "Mama Africa", she embodied the courage and strength of the African woman who is the pillar of her family. Her music was intertwined with her life—she told her story and the story of where she came from, South Africa. She was an inspiration to all Africans, singers and not singers, we all had this spiritual connection with her. She was the first woman role model for Africans, she’ll remain the most vital inspiring performer full of zest and pure love of life. Her story is that of hope and triumph over adversity. She was truly Mama Africa.

Passings: Miriam Makeba has died

From BBC news:
November 10, 2008

South African singing legend Miriam Makeba has died aged 76, after being taken ill in Italy. She had just taken part in a concert near the southern town of Caserta and died of a heart attack.

Makeba, known as "Mama Africa", spent more than 30 years in exile after lending her support to the anti-apartheid struggle. She appeared on Paul Simon's Graceland tour in 1987 and in 1992 had a leading role in the film Sarafina!

Makeba, was born in Johannesburg on 4 March 1932 and was a leading symbol in the struggle against apartheid.

Her singing career started in the 1950s as she mixed jazz with traditional South African songs. She came to international attention in 1959 during a tour of the United States with South African group the Manhattan Brothers.

She was forced into exile soon after when her passport was revoked after starring in an anti-apartheid documentary and did not return to her native country until after Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990.

Makeba was the first black African woman to win a Grammy Award, which she shared with Harry Belafonte in 1965.

Charlie Gillett, who presents the BBC World of Music programme, says there is nobody to compare to her, as she was popular in West Africa - after living in exile in Guinea - and East Africa for recording a version of the Swahili song Malaika, as well as her home in South Africa.

She was African music's first world star blending different styles long before the phrase "world music" was coined.

After her divorce from fellow South African musician Hugh Masekela she married American civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael.

It was while living in exile in the US that she released her most famous songs, Pata Pata and the Click Song.

"You sing about those things that surround you," she said. "Our surrounding has always been that of suffering from apartheid and the racism that exists in our country. So our music has to be affected by all that."

It was because of this dedication to her home continent that Miriam Makeba became known as Mama Africa.
