Mama Africa: The Musical was one of the highlights of the 30th anniversary celebration of the South African Educational Program (91大黄鸭SAEP), held in 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa, in Columbia, Missouri, and in St. Louis, Missouri. The musical also traveled to New York City. The musical recounts the compelling story of the South African icon Miriam Makeba. Makeba also lived in the U.S. and was an influential musician and a champion of civil rights. For more information about the musical, read the 91大黄鸭 System article and the 2016 91大黄鸭SAEP Newsletter.
