About
Genius Annotation 3 contributors

“Makeba” is Jain’s homage to South African singer


and civil rights activist Miriam Makeba, an advocate
against the apartheid in the country and a symbol of
Africa’s musical influence.

Jain’s admiration for Makeba, and her choice to


pursue a musical career, were encouraged by her
multicultural upbringing, having moved to live in
Congo and other parts of the world with her family at
a very young age.
