Malaika - Lata Mangeshkar - Live in Nairobi - 1971 

Lata Mangeshkar (1929-2022).

After I interviewed Lata at Nairobi airport, I was surprised to get a call from her later on. She asked which Swahili dong can she sing for the Kenyan audience and I suggested Malaika.

From Tanzania to India. Her pronunciation of the African words is excellent

Miriam Makeba would have been very proud of this version sung by none other than the Indian Nightingale herself. RIP Lataji!

Historic performance, which won the hearts of people of Kenya 🇰🇪 ♥

She could sing an African song so well, 3 cheers for Lataji, Hip Hip hurray!!

Only the late great Lata could perform a Swahili classic and still make it sound like a Lata classic. Wonderful

Gawah hai chand taare gawah hai

Rest In Peace Lataji 🕉️🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏. There will never be another singer like Lata Mangeshkar. There will never be another Nightingale like her.

World's best singer lata ji ❤

RIP Legend.......much Love from Kenya 🇰🇪 your voice will always cherish our childhood memories

GAWAH HN CHAAND TAARE GAWAH HN DAMINI SONG IS TKN FRM THIS TUNE 👌🇬🇧🙌

Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte and now our own pride Lata Ji........priceless...priceless

Originally written by Adam Salim in 1945 and sung by Fadhili Williams in 1963 and remains to date the iconic Swahili song most remembered and covered by world artists!

Ouststandingggg and divine rendtion of our LataDidi!

This song shows Her respect for all types of music and language. She sang it with so much love, making it her own song. I love the original version but her version is also beautiful ❤️

Mungu akurehemu lata mangeshkar R.I.P🙏🙏

Loved this, I have never heard this version of Malaika before!🙂

Oh my god, wasn't expecting that. What a legend - RIP.

Lata ji....how can i describe ur voice❤❤❤❤❤

How can someone dislike such bful song.strange

Lata ji has the voice of a Malaika 😇

Absolutely beautiful my fair lady. I wake up in the morning to a song and fall asleep at night to a song. Music is my friend and the singers are my harmony. One is never alone with a song. Song writers were born and are gifted people and singers belt out the most beautiful sounds from inside. Only God can give gifts like that. In every language is beauty and beauty is everything. Just open your eyes and open your ears. Absorb all the goodness that God has given to us. I praise all human life. We all have gifts in every single way and believe me. If you meet someone, you’re meant to meet that person in life. That’s all.

lata mangeshkar is not the only indian singer who did this one, in fact usha uthup sang this song along with the actual composer william something when she apeared on a radio show maybe on bbc or something like that. also kudos to the nightingale of india lata mangeshkar for trying to sing this song, even though swahili is not her native language, she sstill tried her best.

RIP my favorite singer Lataji This song from Bonyem..

RIP legend. Much love from Kenya.

Wow, I greatly enjoyed her music and glorious melodies from the heart. Such an honour to hear her sing swahili. Rest in perfect peace ma.

She's endowed with a divine voice to say the least.

A popular song in my college days in Goa. The Words Malika nakupenda Malaika are in Swahili and mean 'Angel, I love you Angel"

Rip, this song is mind blowing, beautifully sung by latha ji. Amazing 🙏

R.I.P Queen of Vocals

Amazing, suro Ki malika

Instant goosebumps on listening to Lata ji's voice singing Malaika ❤❤❤

The song resembles more or less with 'Na jaane kyun hota hain ye zindegi ke saath'' from the movie 'Chhoti Si Baat' which was released long after this song was sung by Lata ji.

This is such a popular song. I heard it once in a Korean Drama, playing in the background. I didn't understand a word of Korean, but I understood every word in the song (originally from Tanzania)

Divided by borders, United by music...✨ Rip Lata Mangeshkar 💐

Miss you lata ji ❤ 💯 🙏 😢 😞

Golden voice❤️🇮🇳

Years Later Bappida Gave It A New Life By Composing "Pukaro, Tum Kahan Ho Pukaro" ... Runa Laila (Suparuna) ... Thanks For Sharing 💖

As adapted by other artists like Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte, the Cape Male Voices from South Africa, and many others including this artist, many recognize Malaika as the most beautiful love song on earth.

Woowwww! Excellent👏👏👏👏👍🥰Bravooooo!

Thankyou for posting this beautiful song Sir, I mean no disrespect but I'm just curious, is this song taken from a concert recorded in 1971? Lata ji's voice didn't sound like this in the early 70's, and I remember this song was on a live album where she appeared on stage with another legend the late great Kishore Kumar and that was from the early/mid 80's. Like I said, no disrespect meant, just curious that's all. Thankyou once again for the upload.

Wooow

Totally agree

Egal wie man dieses Lied singt, es ist einfach ein gut drauf komm Lied!!!

Asante sana ❤
