While the Makeba song is already several years old (released in 2015 on Jain’s debut album, Zanaka), it is receiving a lot of recent air play thanks to TikTok. Here’s a session of Jain performing Makeba live using a very creative sampling device. Watch her create the samples from her instant live vocals and then reuse them to create this song.

Jain (Jeanne Louise Galice) is a French singer who came to prominence in 2015 via her debut album, Zanaka. Since then, she has released two additional full length studio albums, Souldier (2018) and The Fool (2023). Let’s take a dive back in time to relive the dance favorite Makeba, but also make it new again.

Fantastic!
