  • Miriam Makeba - 'Amampondo' is referred to as the 'breathing song' in an interview she made about the South African Khosa language. Miriam became stateless in 1960 when South Africa cancelled her passport due to her being critical of apartheid when in the US. In response eight countries gave her citizenship, including Belgium, Guinea and Cuba - here she is performing in Cuba. Later the USA revoked her visa after she married Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael, so she went to live in Guinea, and became a UN representative for them. She was a highly influential figure in the international fight against apartheid.

      Thanks a lot! I've corrected it in the description now. I don't know how I got that mistaken one.

    I owned an album put out by her maybe years ago, in which she spoke with the "click" tougue! I was so intrigued....I no longer have it! Could anyone offer info' pertaining to another and the proper name of the album?
    Thank you!

    Wahrscheinlich versteht keiner den Text,
    aber das ist ja auch nicht wichtig.
    Wenn man einfach mitmacht bei dem Lied,
    muß man ja gut drauf kommen!!!
