Nelson Mandela

[Spiritinthesky]

11 Feb 2011 is the 21st anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release from prison. Now aged 92, Mr Mandela has made his recording debut in ‘The Mandela Suite’, a musical tribute by Irish composer John Hughes.

With contributions from Sharon Corr, Andrea Corr, The Soweto Sisters and many others, the suite also features lyrics in the 11 official South African languages. Mr. Mandela delivers his own personal eulogy to the power of music in the song.

funny how he was made a hero yet commited crimes against humanity on par with alquida.

funny old world where somone beheads somone they are scum of the earth yet put a burning tyre around somones neck and you get a nobel peace prize
