"Makeba" is a song by French singer-songwriter Jain, released on 6 November 2015, from her debut studio album, Zanaka. It was written by Jain and produced by her longtime collaborator Maxim Nucci. The refrain of the song used a sample from the 1978 song "Me and the Gang" by the American percussionist, songwriter, arranger, and record producer Hamilton Bohannon.[3] "Makeba" peaked at number seven on the French Singles Chart. It references Miriam Makeba, also known as "Mama Africa", a South African singer and anti-apartheid civil rights activist.

The Australian reality television show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! uses the song as an intro. Since 2019, it is also used as the intro theme to Amazon Prime Video's coverage of the Premier League in the United Kingdom and Ligue 1 in France.

In June 2023, "Makeba" received a resurgence in popularity due to the virality it achieved on TikTok.[4] The song has been used in ads for Marshalls and Levi's.[5]

Music video

[edit]

The 3:43 music video for "Makeba" was released on 30 November 2016 on Jain's official YouTube channel. It opens with the last frame of her song "Come", also from Zanaka, as she crumples the frame from the camera as if it was a sheet of paper and walks to the right of the screen. As Jain turns knobs on the sound deck, street poles rise up or fall down, and buildings rise and lower. The video shows various parts of Johannesburg: Miriam Makeba Street, Ponte Tower, Berea Park, Marble Towers, and Orlando Power Station.[citation needed]

Shot in South Africa, the video was nominated for a Grammy Award.[6]
