The artist I chose is MIRIAM MAKEBA. Miriam Makeba was a South African singer who was practically the first African artist to popularize African music out of the African continent in the 1960s. I chose to do my book cover on her because she was not only a singer but she was also a human right activist. She campaigned against the Apartheid and the government even revoked her passport in 1963; she exiled and only returned to South Africa in 1990. She was nicknamed MAMA AFRICA. Miriam Makeba died on November 9, 2008. This strong, beautiful African female artist is perfect for my book cover. These are my sketches:
