Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata (Live 1967)
Ойын-сауық
Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award-winning South African singer and civil rights activist.
In the 1960s, she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world. She is best known for the song "Pata Pata", first recorded in 1957 and released in the U.S. in 1967. She recorded and toured with many popular artists, such as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband Hugh Masekela.
Makeba campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. The South African government responded by revoking her passport in 1960 and her citizenship and right of return in 1963. As the apartheid system crumbled she returned home for the first time in 1990.
Makeba died of a heart attack on 9 November 2008 after performing in a concert in Italy organised to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation local to the region of Campania.

I'm Swedish. When I was in middle school we used to sing this song in music class. Today, I read a book for my daughter: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls - 100 tales of extraordinary women. I read about Miriam Makeba and her song "pata pata" was mentioned as her most celebrated song. I immediately knew. It's been 30 years since I heard it. I immediately put it on and DANCED! I still know the words!! Love it ❤️ Thank you Africa. Thank you Miriam 👋🏽

As a young black American woman I feel so much joy seeing these comments appreciating this woman's beauty (as her form of beauty isn't really celebrated here ) and her talent from all over the world. I hope you are resting in peace , you beautiful African Queen ❤️❤️❤️.

Me - April 2024 in London. After just finishing breast cancer treatment I watched her today on a Paul Simon 2012 documentary about Graceland. She appears. I remembered this song and searched for it. She also had breast cancer and defeated it. Amazing how she continues to inspire globally and multi culturally long after her death from a heart attack in 2008.

I was 9 when this song became very popular in 1967 Panama..
When I was a kid my parents, brothers and sisters always pushed me into dancing Pata Pata. I still have those memories and as I listen to Miriam Makeba I start remembering those days. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Panama.
This song came out in the 60's, it was posted here 8 years ago, looks like people are enjoying it everyday because there are comments everyday! That's amazing. Beautiful song, makes ya want to move and be free!!
This song was among numerous hits of the '60s and '70s - I grew up in the Big Apple - turns NYC into one beautiful groovy town. Those days, sadly, are long gone. Bye-bye, so long, farewell, see you.

What a happy memory. I heard this wonderful song in 1972, when I was 7 years old. And now, unexpectedly and thanks to KZread, I hear it again at 58 years of age. After 54 years! What a joy! Cheers for that!!! ❤❤❤🍺🍺🍺

love how Africans use minimum movement but the dance is graceful and groovy at the same time.
Ouvi muito essa música quando era criança. Não sabia quem cantava, até agora. Cantora maravilhosa, humilde pelo cumprimento ao final do vídeo. ❤
Essa mulher era um furacão, um vulcão, um terremoto. Era o calor escaldante do solo rachado e seco da mãe África, a força dos ventos da savana, a resistência dos excluídos. Tinha a beleza, o vigor, e a coragem da mulher preta, guerreira, talentosa, linda, feliz. Marcou sua geração com o seu talento, e a sua voz aveludada, doce, afinada, mas muito vigorosa. Salve, Miriam 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The original Mama Africa. Here is a lady that personified greatness in all aspect. May her gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

My grandparents had a copy of this record and every time my mom would take me to visit as a kid I would always play it. Decades later as an adult I traveled to South Africa and one day, while wandering through the craft booths at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, GUESS what song comes on? I start laughing, thinking about this coincidence. Then I start singing, doing my best to imitate the !Xhosa lyrics, and the vendors start looking at me and smiling.

I remember watching this with my family. My dad was expecting a gospel singer like Mahalia Jackson. Boy was he surprised, but he couldn't quite keep still even if he pretended it wasn't to his taste. We had the 45 (Pata Pata / Ballad of the Sad Young Men) at school where we wore it out at lunch hour sock hops.
