| | | |
| | Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November | |
| | 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a South African | |
| | singer, songwriter, actress, United Nations goodwill | |
| | ambassador, and civil rights activist. Associated | |
| | with musical genres including Afropop, jazz, and | |
| | world music, she was an advocate against apartheid | |
| | and white-minority government in South Africa. | |
| | | |
| | Born in Johannesburg to Swazi and Xhosa parents, | |
| | Makeba was forced to find employment as a child | |
| | after the death of her father. She had a brief and | |
| | allegedly abusive first marriage at the age of 17, | |
| | gave birth to her only child in 1950, and survived | |
| | breast cancer. Her vocal talent had been recognized | |
| | when she was a child, and she began singing | |
| | professionally in the 1950s, with the Cuban | |
| | Brothers, the Manhattan Brothers, and an all-woman | |
| | group, the Skylarks, performing a mixture of jazz, | |
| | traditional African melodies, and Western popular | |
| | music. In 1959, Makeba had a brief role in the | |
| | anti-apartheid film Come Back, Africa, which brought | |
| | her international attention, and led to her | |
| | performing in Venice, London, and New York City. In | |
| | London, she met the American singer Harry Belafonte, | |
| | who became a mentor and colleague. She moved to New | |
| | York City, where she became immediately popular, and | |
| | recorded her first solo album in 1960. Her attempt | |
| | to return to South Africa that year for her mother's | |
| | funeral was prevented by the country's government. | |
| | | |
| | Makeba's career flourished in the United States, and | |
| | she released several albums and songs, her most | |
| | popular being "Pata Pata" (1967). Along with | |
| | Belafonte she received a Grammy Award for her 1965 | |
| | album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba. She | |
| | testified against the South African government at | |
| | the United Nations and became involved in the civil | |
| | rights movement. She married Stokely Carmichael, a | |
| | leader of the Black Panther Party, in 1968. As a | |
| | result, she lost support among white Americans. The | |
| | US government cancelled her visa while she was | |
| | travelling abroad, leading her and Carmichael to | |
| | move to Guinea. She continued to perform, mostly in | |
| | African countries, including at several independence | |
| | celebrations. She began to write and perform music | |
| | more explicitly critical of apartheid; the 1977 song | |
| | "Soweto Blues", written by her former husband Hugh | |
| | Masekela, was about the Soweto uprising. After | |
| | apartheid was dismantled in 1990, Makeba returned to | |
| | South Africa. She continued recording and | |
| | performing, including a 1991 album with Nina Simone | |
| | and Dizzy Gillespie, and appeared in the 1992 film | |
| | Sarafina!. She was named a UN goodwill ambassador in | |
| | 1999, and campaigned for humanitarian causes. She | |
| | died of a heart attack during a 2008 concert in | |
| | Italy. | |
| | | |
| | Makeba was among the first African musicians to | |
| | receive worldwide recognition. She brought African | |
| | music to a Western audience, and popularized the | |
| | world music and Afropop genres. She also made | |
| | popular several songs critical of apartheid, and | |
| | became a symbol of opposition to the system, | |
| | particularly after her right to return was revoked. | |
| | Upon her death, former South African President | |
| | Nelson Mandela said that "her music inspired a | |
| | powerful sense of hope in all of us." | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | Makeba Sings! is the fifth album by Miriam Makeba, | |
| | released by RCA Victor in 1965. The album charted at | |
| | number 74 in the US album chart. | |
