Born March 4, 1932 in Johannesburg, South Africa, singer Miriam Makeba was and will remain an indomitable activist. “Mama Afrika” was the symbol of universal freedom. His fights, his exile, his declarations, his insubordination command respect. She was repeatedly invited to speak on RFI. His words, taken from our sound archives, nourish our understanding of an epic as painful as it is majestic.
