Many of you may not know, but this track was released in October of 2015...Yes, this makes *Makeba* just over 10 years old!
Jain is a French singer, born in Toulouse, with a mix of Madagascar (mother's side) and *Makeba* is a tribute to Miriam Makeba. Mama Africa, her alias...
Miriam Makeba was very active during the Apartheid years, to the point that she was exiled for decades from her own country. She owned 9 passports!
I had the honor of meeting her and also going to her concerts.
One of her greatest hits which is heard to this day, is *Pata Pata* (link below)
