Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 10 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 in the U.S. and 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.
She actively campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. As a result, the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return. After the end of apartheid she returned home. She died on 10 November 2008 after performing in a concert organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation local to the Region of Campania.
Zenzile Miriam Makeba was born in Johannesburg in 1932. Her mother was a Swazi sangoma (traditional healer-herbalist). Her father, who died when she was six years old, was a Xhosa. When she was eighteen days old, her mother was arrested for selling umqombothi, an African homemade beer brewed from malt and cornmeal. Her mother was sentenced to a six-month prison term, so Miriam spent her first six months of life in jail. As a child, she sang in the choir of the Kilmerton Training Institute in Pretoria, a primary school that she attended for eight years.

Do I believe in the resurrection of Christ?
And did His death bring forth new life?
And did He raise up and bring back Lazurus from the
grave?
Is there supposed to be a Second Coming?
Am I wrong because I'm wondering
Why the fallen Babylon is up and alive today?
And do I really believe in the Mark of the Beast
Cause he's still dwelling up in my streets
Strapped and ready to fight this war
And he's got more guns than you and me
And most people don't wanna believe
That they still prejudice, simply because we poor
Do I believe that Mother Teresa was an angel on this
earth
And thou shall love thy neighbor, even if he acts like
you?
Do believe in Heaven and Hell, shoot, hell yeah I do
Cause we alive today, and my crew is living proof
If it wasn't for you!
None of this would ever mean a thing
If it wasn't for you!
Tell me why else would I believe
What I believe
Do I believe that the Rider of the White Horse
Is coming back for the righteous?
And the Morning Star keeps getting brighter every day?
Is there such a thing as good and evil
Still division amongst the people?
And we're not all created equally, just because you say
Do I believe in the Trinity?
And will I live eternally?
Even though I'm not quite the saint that you claim to
Did Dr. Martin Luther have a dream?
Was Haile Sillasi a king?
And is it okay to sometimes feel a little bit confused?
Will Armagedon ever come?
I'm not perfect, just forgiven
And I might just push back the next time you shove
Do I believe in One God, one aim and destiny?
Just don't forget your First Love
That's what my mom used to tell me
If it wasn't for you!
None of this would ever mean a thing
If it wasn't for you!
Tell me why else would I believe
