I'm still in euphoric disbelief from the results of our election, and even more encouraged because our guy is doing exactly everything that I'd like him to do. But today I heard the news that Miriam Makeba died, whose work I discovered while dancing for hours to the Pata Pata song in Quaker youth camp. Little did we know she was a political activist, using her voice to sing out against apartheid while she lived in exile from South Africa.
Sing and dance along to the Pata Pata song!
A wonderful life, and an even more amazing death. She collapsed right after a performance in Naples. Who wouldn't want to go like that?
Amandla!
