Paul Simon – Miriam Makeba Intro Lyrics

Miriam Makeba Intro Lyrics

Miriam Makeba
Was born in Johannesburg
She was the first of the great singers from her country
To bring South African music to the world
In 1959 she began a world tour

And when she attempted to return home
One year later she was refused to admitments
She's been polytical exil now for 27 years

They call her mama Africa
The Queen of South African music
Miriam Makeba
