South African singer Miriam Makeba sings the catchy, soulful 'Pata Pata' featured in the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour commercial. Known as "Mama Africa," the Grammy Award Winning artist released the title track 'Pata Pata' in November of 1967. Makeba passed away in November of 2008 shortly after singing this hit song in Italy.
Honda's message of "It fits, without fitting in" resonates well with Makeba's song, in a commercial with bright, bold colors and standout animation. Check out the commercial below and listen to the soulful vibes of Miriam Makeba on AOL Radio's African Music station.
