Certainly! Miriam Makeba was known for her powerful words both on and off the stage. Here are some quotes attributed to her:
”I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit.”
”I kept my culture. I kept the music of my roots. Through my music, I became this voice and image of Africa, and the people, without even realising.”
”Music is the only weapon I have.”
”You have to have a good spirit on the inside to be able to survive all the storms on the outside.”
”Africans are still colonised today, but they don’t know it.”
”You sing about things that are happening in your life. You know, you sing about the things you know, the things you experience.”
”We must fight against apartheid with all our might, every day that passes is a victory for the apartheid regime.”
These quotes reflect her commitment to social justice, her pride in her African heritage, and the power of music as a force for change.
