{UAH} 7 SOUTH AFRICAN REBEL WOMEN ARTISTS IN MEMORY OF MIRIAM MAKEBA

7 South African rebel women artists – in memory of Miriam Makeba

MARCH 4, 2015 BY MSAFROPOLITANADD COMMENT

Today, 4 March, is the birthday of the unforgettable Miriam Makeba. To honour her memory I am posting a selection of my favourite songs by seven sensational South African singers who, like Makeba, embody/embodied the spirit of feminist pan-Africa and the African femme fatale.  Pata Pata!

Busi Mhlongo "Umoya ma-Afrika" 

Brenda Fassie – "Vuli Ndlela"

Lebo Mathosa – "Awudede/2 Dangerous"

Simphiwe Dana "Bantu Biko Street"

Thandiswa Mazwai "Nizalwa Ngobani"

Dolly Rathebe in "African Jim" (the first African full length feature film)

And… [insert drum roll]… Queen Mother Makeba herself singing a strong, sultry and sensual samba, "Chove Chuva", at Berns in Stockholm. This is GOLDEN.

If you want to listen uninterrupted, here's a playlist with the seven songs.
