 Miriam Makeba , famously known as Mama Africa was a Grammy award winning South African singer  and civil rights activist. In the 1960's she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world.Miriam was mostly known for her song called Pata Pata which was released in the U.S in 1967. South African music has always been seen as unique because of the many different languages we have and also the different cultures.

Our mothers and grandfathers grew up listening to Miriam Makeba's songs because of the way she sang, to me her voice is purely African. Everywhere you go you would hear a child singing the Pata Pata song.

I am proudly South African and also proud of the artists we have. The music industry is not a place for the fragile people so I salute all artists who have made a name for themselves and for their music...***standing proud***
