seeline Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Obit/tribute from The Times (South Africa). It all seems to have happened really fast, starting while she was still onstage. Here she is in Sao Paulo, Brazil, performing "Pata Pata," back in 1968. Sivuca is on guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85_9mKTg_Do There's also a complete concert from the 60s on YouTube.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Very sorry to hear this. No mention in the obit of her and Stokely being kicked out of the US and getting political asylum in Guinea. She wasn't just against apartheid, but for civil rights everywhere. Now playing the recordings she made in Guinea. RIP. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
