WWOZ: "Marlene dietrich was proficient on the saw, slept with at least 3 Kennedys, her favorite breakfast was hotdogs & champagne, and said...'once, a woman has forgotten a man she should never reheat his sins for breakfast...but then what is the blues if not reheated sins?'" 10/2/11, 2:25 pm

♬ Pata Pata, Mama Afrika

Mama Afrika ~ Miriam Makeba

Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a South African singer and civil rights activist.

In the 1960s, she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world. She is best known for the song "Pata Pata", first recorded in 1957 and released in the U.S. in 1967. She recorded and toured with many popular artists, such as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband Hugh Masekela.

Makeba campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. The South African government responded by revoking her passport in 1960 and her citizenship and right of return in 1963. As the apartheid system crumbled she returned home for the first time in 1990.

Makeba died of a heart attack on 9 November 2008 after performing in a concert in Italy organised to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation local to the region of Campania.
