About

Zenzile Miriam Makeba, known as Mama Africa, was the first African singer to gain broad international fame, bringing the music and struggles of South Africa to the world stage. Exiled from her homeland for 31 years by the apartheid regime, she recorded extensively in Guinea and the US. Her click-song recordings and political advocacy made her one of the most iconic figures in 20th century music.
