Agenda 20 - 26 Mei 2018

The African Mamas brengen in hun nieuwe theaterconcert samen met Leoni Jansen een ode aan de zangeres die Zuid-Afrika hoop gaf. Zoals Nelson Mandela de vader van Afrika wordt genoemd, zo is Miriam Makeba ‘Mama Africa’. Met muziek, zang en inspirerende verhalen vertellen ze over Makeba’s strijd tegen apartheid, waardoor zij 30 jaar lang verbannen werd uit haar thuisland.

Op het ritme van haar hits als Pata Pata, Malaika en de Clicksong brengen de African Mamas de kracht en de moed van hun boegbeeld tot leven. Alle kanten van haar kleurrijke bestaan komen aan bod: haar muzikale samenwerking met Harry Belafonte en Paul Simon, haar vijf huwelijken en haar overlijden in 2008, twee dagen nadat ze afscheid nam van haar Nederlandse fans. Nog altijd wordt ze herinnerd als de vrouw die de Afrikaanse muziek de wereld in stuurde en die Zuid-Afrika in zware tijden perspectief bood.

Daarom heet het concert ‘Siyabonga Miriam Makeba’, oftewel; ’Dankjewel Miriam Makeba’.
