In honor of what would have been her 81st birthday, as we have been beautifully reminded by Google: Miriam Makeba - The Click Song

My mom grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and I remember her playing various South African artists, One was Miriam Makeba and my favorite song was the "Click Song". Today Google honors this celebrated Anti-Apartheid singer with a doodle which I think is charming, but what this really brings back for me is the "Click Song"Miriam Makeba - The Click Song

Aprendiendo algo del AFI que no practicamos en la U, encontré estos otros sonidos intermedios que no aparecen registrados en el alfabeto internacional. Divertido, para probar con la lengua y el paladar!

Omg I love her! What a shame that I only learned about her 3 years after her death. Her incredible lack of judgement or condescension when discussing topics she would be completely justified in judging is amazing. This is the kind of person who can change the world.
