Africa's songbird has sadly passed away this sunday. Also known as "Mamma Africa", Miriam Makeba was an exceptional singer and activist, exhiled from South Africa during the Apartheid rule, and a symbol for the extraordinary history of her country and its people. Her last performance was at 'Castel Volturno' in Italy, a concert in protest of the mafia-like organisation called the Camorra, where she collapsed whilst completing her life's work.
Here she is performing "Soweto Blues".
