about

Angel D Remix of "Amampondo" is a song by Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a South African singer, songwriter, actress, 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. 'Amampondo' is referred to as the 'breathing song' in an interview she made about the South African Khosa language. Miriam became stateless in 1960 when South Africa cancelled her passport due to her being critical of apartheid when in the US. In response eight countries gave her citizenship, including Belgium, Guinea and Cuba - here she is performing in Cuba. Later the USA revoked her visa after she married Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael, so she went to live in Guinea, and became a UN representative for them. She was a highly influential figure in the international fight against apartheid.
