b'In this episode, we celebrate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela through the music of South Africa from the late 1950s through the dismantling of apartheid.  The first sets showcase artists who were popular at the time and often meaningful in the liberation struggle of black South Africans.  The final set includes songs inspired by Madiba and performed by artists from around the world.
\\n
\\nNelson Mandela is one of my most beloved heroes, so creating this program felt like a labor of love.  During the show, I refer to a movie from a decade ago called Amandla!  If you are interested in learning more about the connection between music and South African freedom, I encourage you to check it out.

\\nThis might be it for me for 2013.  Thanks to all of you who have stayed tuned in!
