Subject: Singer Miriam Makeba dies aged 76

Written By: Philip Eno on 11/10/08 at 5:38 am

South African singing legend Miriam Makeba has died aged 76, after being taken ill in Italy.

She had just taken part in a concert near the southern town of Caserta, the Ansa news agency reported.

The concert was on behalf of Roberto Saviano, the author of an expose of the Camorra mafia whose life has subsequently been threatened.

Ms Makeba appeared on Paul Simon's Graceland tour in 1987 and in 1992 had a leading role in the film Sarafina!

She died of a heart attack.

She wasn't well known here, but I thought she was great.  Some people would know the Pata-Pata song. I didn't realize she was that old  RIP Miriam  :\'(
