Miriam Makeba (Mama Afrika) passes away

By Oluniyi David Ajao on November 10, 2008

Miriam Makeba performing at the Cape Town Jazz Festival in 2006.

Another great African music icon has just passed away. Miriam Makeba is reported to have died last night in Italy, of heart attack.

I remember Miriam Makeba for appearing in Graceland (The African Concert) alongside Paul Simon, Hugh Masekela, and my favourite South African group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Rest in peace Mama Afrika. God bless your soul.
