In the memory of the incredible soul who has left such a lasting and powerful legacy for humanity to always remember, I bring you Hugh Masekela. A song peacefully calling for Nelson Mandela's release from prison, Masekela released the song, knowing full well that the mere mention of 'Mandela' would cause his music to be banned in his home country. As the song pleads, we all wish to see Mandela walking once more down the streets of Soweto, but his lasting memory shall forever be walking amidst our hearts with his timeless message of philanthropy, anti-apartheid, and peace.
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”-Nelson Mandela
Love of music comes naturally to my human heart, and I hope this song shares some of its love with you.
