Is someone still listening to this in 2024 ☺️🥰
yes!
yup@@TheBrown113
Yes and yes!!🎉
Yes I do, listening from Germany... for me it s amazing wonderful, I m deeply impressed :) :)
Yes I am
My mother used to sing this song to me as a child, now as a father of two girls I find myself singing them this song. The power of Mamma Africa can make everything better.
Abdoul Sanogo yeah Mother of all races, mama Africa, its just a fact....
Beautiful :)
Malaaaikaaaa...
unforgettable
The mother of humankind
Back when I studied for my BA in social science my teacher brought us all out to the piano in the hallway to play and sing this song. He told us it was a famous African lullaby (obviously just bullshitting us) and we started to butcher this song - none of us knew how to pronounce any of words. We did, however, nail the melody.
As we were singing we heard someone swing open the main door downstairs and walk down another set of stairs to the basement when the footsteps suddenly stopped. Turned around. And made their way to the floor we were on. The heads of two black exchange students, a young man and a girl, came in sight looking super increadulous at us until they realized it was a music lesson. At the point they started to dance and move and clap in ways I cannot even describe like they truely appreciated our pathetic attempt at swahili.
It was just the coolest moment. I'll never forget it.
"my angel I love you. I'm devastated I don't have wealth, but I'd have married you my angel." Basic translation of what she's singing. I like how she sings it emotionally, like she means every word. Glad she did it even though Swahili is a foreign language to her.
Thank you. I am South African and was asking myself what language it is that she is singing in.
@@Thimzohx swahili
Thanks a lot..love from india.
Thanks so kindly
Swahili ❤my language
My husband and I used to hear this song when I was pregnant with my daughter, we named her Malaika ❤️
Angel, she must be beautiful litu girl
Wow.. My wife just suggested we should name our girl Malaika.
I am from the Hausa tribe in Nigeria and in native language Malaika means Angel.
In my native language Malaika means Angel. I am Hausa form Nigeria.
@@jamilaibrahim8370 It's Swahili meaning angel and the song is in Swahili although the singer is South African.
I'm Afro-American and I just learned about Miriam Makeba today. She's beautiful, graceful, and from my understanding, a cultural icon in her homeland of South Africa. Respect to this Queen. 👑✊🏾❤️
Beloved nickname is Mama Africa. This song was sung in another African language that is NOT native of her original south African roots. She nailed the kiswahili
I'm glad you did! I'm white and listen to her for many many years!
Boney M sung it as well from your Land. You can also listen to that, it is Swahili the Language spoken in East and Central Africa.
The other info. is She is late MHSRIP, this performance was way back in 1969.
*..i'm not even black - i guess i could "pass" for white, but i don't care - what i dó remember ( and i can go back quite far ) is me 3?4 yrs old, sitting on the floor of a small house, in front of a Húge speaker box, áll day / évery day, Listening to her... Coz i wanted to sing the click-song even bétter than her :-) I could!! { not so well anymore } the other thing i remember is having spiritual thoughts & feelings - thát young - that i Absolutely did Nót wanna share with Anyone ... i Really don't know why...*
My man is crazy mzungu of Mririam makeba, calls her his girlfriend, give thumbs up who is listening to Miriam Makeba in 2023❤
Born in 1962 and 62 today, best song ever ❤
Happy birthday 🎉 superman ❤
I'm was born in 62 and am 62, too.
This song is so soothing to the soul and Ms. Miriam's voice is simply amazing.
I am so glad that I came here by accident.
❤❤❤
I was also born in 1962 and turned 62 years old yesterday 🎉 🎂. I, too, love this song because it reminds me of my parents. They have both passed away. I am a proud South African and met Mama Mirriam Makeba on several occasions. In fact, I was assigned to assist with her funeral arrangements on an official basis. I just thought that I should share that with this circle of CZcams age mates 😊❤ 🇿🇦
Look at her true beauty, hear her sweet angel voice. I feel like all is right with the world with her music.
Yeah Linda ,what you said its true
@@nuratamir6705 😂😂😂😂
Wow. I agree.
Hello Linda.. I like your profile pic.. you're a very beautiful woman
You look nice Linda😘
Swahili is rapidly growing. Swahili for Africa.
Who's with me
Exactly 👏👏💓💓

Viva the Swahili people
Конечно с тобой.
Мой Ангел это шедевр.

Замбия.
I am proud that she sings the song which originate in my home country with our tongue , Kiswahili. All love from Tanzania 🇹🇿. Hala kiswahili
Nakubali !!
It originated from KENYA not TZ. Thank you.
@@JamesKeru 😂😂😂 so fadhili William is kenyan plz be serious research staffs b4 coming here and spreading ur ignorance
@@fanakaemil13 Fadhili William was a Kenyan in Taita Taveta County. Born and buried in Kenya. You are the ignorant one here. Do your research.
@@mickalynswahili
I love listening to this song because my name is Malaika and my mom is from Tanzania 🇹🇿 and the name is originally from Tanzania so that’s why she named me Malaika 😊❤
Your mother is from Tanzania? And where you from?
@@mvuzojevu2948 I’m from Sweden 🇸🇪.
She is singing in Swahili
My mom used to sing this to me ❤❤❤❤
Malaika means Angel in Swahili
Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela created awareness of apartheid at a time when most South Africans of African descent were unable to travel abroad. She is an icon and hero to all Africans! May her soul rest peacefully! 🙏🏽😊
Am white. Am so sad because what white people did. Im on my knees. There cannot be any forgiveness. All you read this: im devastated.
Man, she was so beautiful....feel like everything's alright with the world whenever I listen to this...
Adore swahili.
Thank u people.
Im from Russia.
My Kenyan grandfather sang this song to me when I was younger, it's the earliest memory I have. Now I'm 19 and rediscovered this beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️
The original singer and songwriter was a Kenyan
@@anthonymalingu7721mmmh mxieeeeeeew
First time I've heard Malaika in Kenya ❤ best memories

@@irenepatrickdavid5891 I LOVE that you gave your daughter such a beautiful name! I pray that your "Angel" grows up in a world that can overcome hate and greed, and one where all people are valued and treated with respect. Blessings to your family!
(BTW, "Malaika" translates to "Angel" in English, but I'm sure you and your husband already know that)
#Cloud__BiayendA InA I am
Yesss
Yes. Songstress Icon of Africa 🙌🙌🙌💯
still listening to this in 2021...imagining how we"d be listening to this with the love of my life...
And this love of your life, have you found it? 🥲
I met her in Dar es salaam Tanzania...when I was 6 years old...she took refuge in Tanganyika as it was then called...
Before she became an international star...
I then went to see her concert in London...which was fantastic...
Mama Africa....
She will always have a special place in my heart...
My father and mother loved her...very much.
In fact every Tanzanian that I've met loves her...
I imagine the whole of Africa loving her also...
We must educate all our children to know about her and Hugh Masekela...who sacrificed a lot to fight against the racists...
Aluta continua 🌍🙏🏽
Was lucky enough to see her in concert at Festac 1977 in Lagos, Nigeria. Truly amazing. Sat on front row and was mesmerized by her beautiful voice and charisma. Such a joy in my life.
Just a while guy who appreciates good music. Music has no color.
You were at FESTAC '77?!? How amazing. That's like the Woodstock of Nigeria. Are you Nigerian? How was the event?
@@DamaniDanDadar I'm English but was living in Lagos at the time. I was very aware of the importance of Festac. Also used to go to Fela Ransome Kuti's 'republic' for amazing music nights! Great time to have been in Nigeria! (Sadly, was not at Woodstock!!)
Our daughter was born in Tanzania and she is our Malaika

This song is just like the flow of a river... It bring you back the memories of the true beauty of Africa and it people... Thanks you mama Myriam makeba African icon

Watching here in the Philippines in 2024. Beautiful woman and beautiful music. Fond memories of time spent so many years ago in Africa.
She was decades ahead of all times! Professional, talented, intellectual, bright and inspiring!!!!
On this international women's day, I chose to listen to songs from women who shaped our lives both artistically, socially, intellectually, and economically.
Thanks for the internet...we get to see these amazing people
And where are you from sir?
In Kenya Mama Africa sang Malaika . A heroine forever!
cette chanson me rappelle mon enfance aujourd'hui j'ai 25 ans en 2024
True talent... No autotune.. True soul.. African queen
Thank you Miriam!

Her Swahili pronunciation is just perfect......Safi sana.
Such a beautiful song by a beautiful woman! Reminds me of my childhood in Kenya...... I've been singing it to my daughter, Amani. I hope to take her to Kenya one day to show her the beautiful land where I grew up.......I miss it everyday!

When my little Malaika hears this song, she becomes so excited that she was sang about. It's so lovely that she feels the song too as young as she is
I was in Tanzania 2 months ago and we had a party it was the first song they had sang I sang with them and my Tanzanian colleague wandered how I knew and don't even know K. Suaheli I just love the song 🎵 😍
*Kiswahili ... but 100/100 points for trying :-)

She looks so gorgeous and sings so beautifully that I was captivated by this performance. Wow!! 😊
For life!! She’s MOTHER AFRICA!! It never dies!!
I remember Miriam singing the click song, but I haven't heard this son. The melody and her singing are beautiful. She is a gorgeous looking woman.
Refreshing to see Africa at its best during a turbulent era...... Thank you Miriam Makeba for bringing out the best in Africa.... Rest easy mama

Beautiful.
I’m here because of Jain
Makeba
I was born in India but had lots of African friends. My friend from Sudan introduced me to this song. I love the words, tune, and melody of this song. Music has no boundaries as air and birds do not recognize any limitations. Love African music and culture. Proud to have so many African friends. Traveled the world but still have to land in the African continent. We are all one.
There's an Indian version of this song: "Gawa hai, chand tare gawa hai.."
She had a beauty that even the blind could see xxx still here in 2018:)
Long live Africa her beautiful voice Will always stand the taste of time.we Will always miss you mama.
and in 2020
I have been here several times and still come back. It feels like home to listen to her. It's August 26th 2021. I wish Afghanistan peace. We love you and pray with you in your hour of need. We pray that the Lord will send a mighty arm to rescue you !
This song was always lovely, even as a child listening to it. I wish we could sing more music like this these days. I'm looking at you NIgeria 😒

Here for her in 2021. When I was 18, someone brought a tape to school and I listened to it, fell in love. Now I m 38 years older. My taste wasn t that bad when I was young, must admit. She s a real Queen, may she sing in Heaven, this wonderful woman. From Germany to the World 🇩🇪 🌍 ☮️
My daughter was born in 2016, and I named her after this song.
Now and till I am no longer here. She is just on another level.
