RIP, Miriam Makeba

Miriam Makeba (or as she was fondly called, Mama Afrika) is dead (also a video report.)
"Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation which she felt for 31 long years. At the same time, her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us" -- Nelson Mandela
A few videos showcasting her amazing voice.







If this voice does not make you hair stand on end....
