Get into the rhythm of your week with Miriam makeba officiel's hip-swinging tune "Pata Pata"! The Grammy award-winning South African singer brought her international hit to The Ed Sullivan Show stage back in 1969 https://EdSullivan.lnk.to/PataPataFP | The Ed Sullivan Show

The beauty of words and language becomes apparent in this interview Miriam Makeba gives in the 1960s. We see her pronounce the alphabet in her native Xhosa language where beautiful ‘click consonants’ are frequent. She then sings a song that uses them, ‘Baxabene Oxamu’. Xhosa is spoken as a first language by approximately 8.2 million people and by another 11 million as a second language in South Africa. So stunning! ❤️🇿🇦 #MiriamMakeba #SouthAfrica #MaXhosa #Xhosa #Makeba | Africans in Thailand
