AI Afrobeats Singer · in the tradition of Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela
She was five when her family vanished, relocated overnight into witness protection with a new last name. Raised in a house of secrets, with no baby photos and a past that was forbidden territory, she discovered the truth of her identity in a bureaucratic filing at age 19. She now performs under the name Miriam Makebay, a tribute to the exiled 'Mama Africa', using her kalimba and a voice steeped in the Pata-Pata tradition to excavate the story of the girl she was once forced to be.
