She is so calm and even smiling while talking about painful reality.

I really love how she smiles as she speaks. Confidence and truth

I'm crying, she's so beautiful and intelligent

She was so beautiful, poised, confident, lucid and intelligent. We lost a great soldier.

This is pure education. What a graceful and intelligent woman.

Today marks the 11th anniversary of the passing of QUEEN MIRIAM MAKEBA! May her spirit Rise in Power and Rest in Glory! She was one of South Africa's greatest activist, vocalist, songwriter, actress, United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and jazz artist, and will always be known as MAMA AFRICA!🇿🇦 "“The conqueror writes history, they came, they conquered & they write. You don’t expect the people who came to invade us to tell the truth about us.” "I'm not a political singer” - I don't know what the word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us - especially the things that hurt us." PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN!

How could she manage to maintain all out smile while discussing about such a serious stuff?! Her words come out as clear as a morning shiny blue sky. Mama Africa, You are a legend & love you more. Thanks for sharing @ Cosmicrat.

Thank you, Earl & Uncle Al. 💪🏾

Corona virus brought me here But still, I don't regret it. She's a beauty to withhold. Her humility and talent is just amazing. Africa will never have a replacement!

Who's there in 2018? She's beautiful, elegant and true hero. Rest in peace sister and we continue...

she speaks so much truth! and the problem is still the same. i am white but deeply care about racism and any injustice, and i have to say that most people see me as a pain in the butt, when i talk about these issues. i most of the time get "why do you care, you are not black/muslim(or whatever).." or rolling eyes.. many people also like to argue and say "it's not an issue anymore, we are over this", these are usually the people who at one point or another are racist themselves.

I never even heard about her omg! Her song Pata Pata is jamming! Here in 2020 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️

I never seen this girl before...I didn't know she exists... I discover her when she has already died...today Aug 12 ,2019 ...and my admiration for her is enormous... her way to say things...her wrights...her truths... is amazing ...she's a Goddess of her Art, her voice and her fight ...

I must confess,I have heard not many songs of this Lady,But today I decided to go into her biography,and what I found was more than what I bargained for, She was interligent, eloquent speaker, Activists, Musician,Amother, Awife, and above all beautiful dark in complexion 6 feet plus thus earns her the Mama Africa title,R.I.P mama.

I first heard Miriam Makeba on television in the early 1960s. Such was her impact on the little child who was me that I named my daughter for her.

Wow, I just discovered her today and I fell in love with her music, message, and her voice. Now I am obsessed!!! Mama Afrika I love and appreciate your message.

"...Saying that they are a minority, this really means nothing. The white man, where ever he is, whether he is in the majority or the minority, he rules. It just proves to everyone that we have to keep fighting." She speaks so much truth, resonating with the current state we are living in now. Incredible woman, she was

I’m senegalese and i love South African people❣️i want to go to Douth Africa 😘❤️

The conquerer writes history. They came, they conquered and they wrote.

She is great and beautiful woman.

She spoke with grace

Rest in power goddess ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They came. They conquered. They wrote

You were a true African Queen you represented all Africans and blacks in general so well ... R.I.P 👑👑❤️❤️

Calm, intelligent, confident and beautiful woman.

We Love you Miriam Makeba! REST IN PEACE MAMA AFRICA 🇹🇿🇿🇦

She was beautiful and very real. Her approach reminds me of a Bible verse that states, "A soft answer turns away wrath." Her gentle honesty speaks sooo loud. This racism stuff: majority verse minority, needs to be abolished. The so called "majority" needs to realize we are all in this world together. Period.

Such an intelligent lady!

At 4:56 "They came, they conquered, and they wrote." Whoa. That's deep.

what an amazing woman: so beautiful so brilliant with the composure and grace of a queen. She came from the most humble beginnings imaginable, She persevered and she overcame countless obstacles in her way. However she did not just enjoy the life that her great talent afforded; instead she used her voice and worked to her dying day* to improve the lives of others. (*on the day she passed away in November of 2009 she had performed at a concert in Italy to counter the destruction wrought by organized crime in Campania.)

Nine dislikes? Hmm.... some angry Afrikaners are in their feelings.

What a brave woman!!!very straight talk!!!!

Mama Africa you are a legend 💖🎵🎶🎧🎸 May you rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏

I am a white person and I try not treat anybody bad. As I get to know and spend time with other cultures and meet with people of different colors, ethnics, religions I get to love them. And I always pray that People around the world will find peace and love with each other. I love you all.

What a lady! Beauty and Intelligence harmoniously intertwined. So inspirational! I could listen to this interview times and times again. RIP, Mama Africa.

Wow Miriam Kakeba Was So Brilliant and a Master of Communication she is so articulate, she have made me desire her mode of communication.

I watched this brief interview and couldn't have enough of her charm, obvious natural beauty,elegance, and articulateness. It's not for nothing she was given the sobriquet,Mama Africa. What Nelson Mandela did through activism and advocacy,she achieved with her evocative music and magnetism.

Awesome Lady! Truth reigns!

I am African born in America! I can't stop staring and listening to her magnetic beauty! Her smile captures my soul!

I'm here in 2020...

Authentic lound & clear voice to melt racial barriers... Thank you for you voice. Mysrip will always per gratitude for your freedom fighting

Miriam Makeba -"The white man wherever he is - whether he is in the minority or the majority -he rules. It just proves to everyone that we just have to keep fighting, we just have to fight much more because it doesn't matter whether he is a minority or a majority - he's always on top."

Makeba was a complete inspiration, wherever she sang, whenever she spoke, asserting her views with simplicity, strength, and with right on her side.

I look at her and feel pride and inspired. she make me feel like i can do better always

She is so transparent, aware and intelligent. A true diva!

I discovered her after watching the Cosby show. So grateful

I real Love and Respect you Mama Africa and appreciate you for your good works. You were real born and work at the hard time of World History and the History shall never forget you. Through you and your dear companions of your times, changed the world history and made it look as it is today, the world of least racism though the struggle is still to continue. Thank you Mama Miriam. We loved you much but God loved you most. May your Soul Rest in Peace and see you on the Judgement Day of the World. Thank you and you, who posted this video for her memory. We weren't knowing many things about this Mama's works. She real did a lot for Liberation of the Black people through her gifted talent of Music. We love and remember you, Mama.

This women was a Genius in her on right. Beauty and Brains.

I am today years old when I got to know her thanks to my crush. I love her already. 💙

PREACH SISTER!!! YES YES YES

Such a beauty. Articulate. Informed. Confident. Humble. We miss you Mama Afrika.

She was of immense beauty, saying beautiful words. Powerful words.

Beautiful Mama Africa when she was princess Africa. Continue resting in peace our mama

Banqabile abantu abanomqolo nje ngoMama uMiriam Makeba kweziintsuku.... And I like how she addressed the problem.

"For us it's better to keep laugh rather than crying" till now" 😭😭😭

She talked like a real rep of African people. If we had people like mama in politics definitely we won't have things like xenophobia happening. Rest in Peace mama.....

She’s such an inspiration. Amazing women

MAMA,R.I.P.,you are missed and loved by Black Americans!!!

She smiled😍

a true example for all of us to live by

Such a gorgeous and elegant lady 💓

That’s the thing i love the most about samples, digging to find the original sample and watching stuff i normally wouldn’t watch

What a ......Magnificent Voice We have Lost....RIP now...In God’s Arms 🌹🌹✝️🌹🌹

Her voice is like honey. God's angel

Mother of the nation

I only discovered you today. I thank God I discovered you. I'm shedding tears of joy. I am privileged to Motherland Africa

I really love the young Makeba

There's something about her that's so heartbreakingly beautiful. The honesty in her eyes makes it tough to look away from her when she speaks. What a wonderful woman she must have been...I think this is the kind of woman they write poetry about.

Africa must raise up! Strong message from her !

I feel so connected when she speaks. God bless her pious soul.

I love you my mom mariam makeba wherever you are shall my gratitude be with you.shall your soul be benit shall you never been forgot in any black man.rest in peace

I'm blessed to have seen her perform in Johannesburg and in my hometown Cape Town.

Wow wow this lady was absolutely gorgeous and adorable she used to talk from the heart ❤️ and tell the truth to who wanted to here and see the reality she was a gold and goddess 💞💞💞💞💞

This is true today! As it was in 1969. The day people of African origins no longer allow Europeans to define their reality, shall be the day! We shall start waking up from their Spells, that have been crafted so well!

Wow!!!! If only the powers that be in South Africa can show these kind of footages like Steve Biko interviews, "Come Back, Africa" as well as many others of similar nature. You know it took me a lot of pastime research for me to bhe able to dispel the myth about Brazilian racial harmony and yet in a manner of seconds Mama just broke it down

im white...she´s 95% right in what she said...she was beautiful person and an extraordinary singer and composer. I meet her only today, searching for pata pata and i stay 2 hours with her, hearing. There is also music discrimination,,,only rock, pop, rap, or whatever,,is important. This african music is absolutly beautiful,,and also i never heard no one femal voice from soul , jazz or blues that get her level. Thank you

She was so eloquent...beautiful too.

Wow what a human being she was. What a soul she is . What a beauty to behold. Rest in peace Mama Afrika.

True now in 2020

Miriam Makeba brought joy in the fields.

GAWD, this was GOOD!

My dear Icon, wonderful being of blood and flesh. You can touch our hearts, thank you. And we hope that your words and songs and smile, help us all together, to improve this world. I hope that your being has helped us to assume, all of us individually by ourselves,, attitudes,, deeds, feelings and words, which are profoundly respectful to all of our brothers and sisters.

She made reasonable points

Such a gentle and tender voice, delivering such a strong and militant message! Gorgeous woman!

"the truth shall never be covered by lies" 😢❤️

The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That beauty! The calmness, the confidence, that smile, and the brilliant mind. Too much to pack into one person.

I can listen for hours to her songs and her speech ❤

Best African woman ever

So much honesty, such a beautiful soul. Respect.

God she was so beautiful... How come we don't see that much naturally beautiful black women nowadays anymore? :)

Damn! I knew that woman all my life but I never see this side of her. Smart and outspoken

i agree Dada the true teller. we are happy because we dance ,we sing because to us somtimes it it better to love to keep from crying

Thank you so much for sharing this. She was so articulate to speak the truth with so much dignity

Me gustó leer los comentarios sobre esta gran mujer, y tengo el orgullo de hacer que mis pequeños sobrinos la conozcan desde la música, para que como yo, un día se interioricen de su trabajo y vida

I love the way she smiles. even when she is saying serious words

I discovered this but honestly I really love her smile and confidence and she was very beautiful mama

The turn in the beginning is all power😍

I wish this video could go viral. RIP Mama Africa,you fought us a good fight.

My sister speak her heart!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
