The Song Bird of Africa is no more. Miriam Makeba died yesterday after suffering a heart attack. Few artists are so identified with a whole continent as “Mama Africa”. Her fight against the apartheid system in her home country, South Africa, made her famous around the world, perhaps even more famous than for her singing. Mariam’s fought against violence into the very end when she yesterday participated in a anti-mafia concert in Italy.
