· 2Y ago'Why shouldn’t power be Black’? How Miriam Makeba won and lost the US
Miriam Makeba, a South African singer, arrived in the US on November 28, 1959. Harry Belafonte, a famous Jamaican-American singer, quickly helped her with a visa and introduced her to the music scene. She was nervous about performing on TV, but she wowed the audience with her traditional isiXhosa song. This marked the beginning of her fame in America.
