The video for -Makeba' was shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, the home of the inspiration for the song, singer Myriam Makeba.
-Makeba' is the second single from Jain's debut album 'Zanaka", GOLD in France, and follows on from first single -Come' which has been viewed 44 million times to date.
Despite being born and raised in Toulouse, France, Jain also spent time living in Congo, Dubai and Abu Dhabi growing up which have all gone on to have heavy influences in her music.
Zanaka
It takes just a few seconds of listening to Jain to know that you've stumbled on someone special. Pick a song – any song – from the Parisian's glorious, globe-trotting debut album, Zanaka, and the effect is the same. Instantly, you'll be startled, smitten and smiling. ZANAKA was recorded in Paris with producer Yodelice, a former French Grammy Award winner, whom Jain met after he'd heard her songs on MySpace. The sole exception is Lil Mama, recorded in Kingston, Jamaica with veteran producer Donovan Bennett aka Don Corleon. A carefree sprit and sense of adventure is at Zanaka's core. Fresh, fun, life-affirming songs capture the wide-eyed wonder of discovering music's power to both express emotions and incite them. As endearingly innocent as they are riotously rule-breaking, Jain's tales of travel and adolescence are the sound of the summer, wherever you reside.
