    Pumeza

    5. Pata Pata

    Originally written and sung in the Xhosa language, this catchy song hit the US Billboard charts in the 1960s, performed by South African singer Miriam Makeba. The Xhosa click sounds, representing different letters in the language, all add to the lively percussion sounds in the music. Photo: Decca
