"Pata Pata" (as featured on the 1990 album "Welela") was mixed at Psycho Studio in Milan, February 1990. The bulk of the album was mixed at Condulmer Recording Studios in Venice, Italy by Allan Goldberg of Phonocomp toward the end of 1989.
Zenzile Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award-winning 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.

I've always loved this song. For years, I only knew of the 1967 hit version, but since RUclips, I've found dozens of versions by Makeba and many other artists. This one is my favorite of all.

Femme admirable par son engagement contre l'apartheid et son immense amour pour son pays et pour le continent africain!

[@dzpatrioteziridedjazairi8196]

pour moi cette chanson est numéro 1 en afrique pour l'éternité et dans le top 10 mondial. cette musique est tout simplement un chef d'oeuvre artistique. et bien entendu, que vaut cette musique magnifique sans la voix de la diva mondiale Miriam Makeba? EN ALGERIE MIRIAM MAKEBA EST UNE VÉRITABLE STAR PLANÉTAIRE ET SA VOIX EST ÉTERNELLE, ELLE SUSCITE UN RESPECT TELLEMENT PROFOND QUE NOUS REGRETTONS QU'ELLE NE SOIT PAS ALGERIENNE.
