Miriam Makeba
Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 9 November 2008[1][2]) was a Grammy Award-winning South African singer, also known as Mama Afrika.
She released many famous hits including "Pata Pata".
She died in Castel Volturno, near Caserta, Italy, in the evening of 9 November 2008, of a heart attack, shortly after taking part in a concert organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation. In his condolence message, former South African president Nelson Mandela said it was "fitting that Makeba died doing what she did best - singing."
