Mama Africa Miriam Makeba the great has left us

[Lavandula Canadensis]

a great lady who gave a voice to the south africans

seeing a lady like this gives me a second breath in days of darkness...

lavan, thank you for posting this.

miriam makeba has such a great joy and a great spirit that one cannot listen to her music without wanting to get up and dance.

who cannot hear the joy in "pata pata" and "the click song"?

mama africa has left the world a better place, bringing awareness to people of all cultures that music is the language that brings us all together.
