I remember the times that my parents would sit me at the record player and play the songs and they made me remember this song in particular and I learned that the Phoneticaler song never really knew what the words were but I just felt it in my soul at the age 5 and six when both of my parents died my mother first she died at 51 and I sat over her body in the morgue and I sang this song to her who would’ve known the blessing that I gave her and our family. Many years later my father passed away in my arms and I sang this exact same song to him and I felt the presence of God as he took his last breath sometimes your parents know more than you think they know obedience out weights sacrifice thank you Mama Africa.

Hermosas voces!!! Escucharlas me pone la piel de gallina. De pequeña escuche Pata Pata versión español y no supe de su intérprete original hasta que vi la película Serafina. Gran mujer Miriam Makeba.

I like African songs & l love the way they dance. Wow! they can move so gracefully.

Love and miss you Mama Africa❤❤❤❤

Her music was in our house since the 60s. One my moms favourite . Grateful got to see her in Edmonton live the week after my mom passed . It was a very bittersweet concert to attend that eve with my dad who had gotten the tickets to surprise my mom with . First week nov 2001 .

As a Caribbean child and now woman me and my Grand pa would jam to his even if we did not understand the words! Yet it felt so good in the soul! RIP GRAMS always on my mind

AFRICAN QUEEN MOTHER. Blessed Africa. Blessed LOVE to the WORLD.

Wow! Beautiful

I was extremely lucky to be able to attend this concert in my hometown Barcelona. We did enjoy every minute of it.

Mama Africa. African song is not always about love or sexualism. See the serenity in her voice. Song of oppressed. That what makes them different from contemporary artist.

Many African American children in the 70's may not have been taught much about Africa but WE DID come to know about "Mother Africa" from South Africa, the late Mrs. Miriam Makeba!!!!! YES!!!!!!

The language is so beautiful

Lovely voices. We miss this such beauty.

Sad fool I am to have neglected my African darling. Just a kuli Durban ou, who knows her history with Sunny Pillay and African Jazz in the 50ties.🙏🙏

Thanks for this uploading! Absolutely enjoyable
