Beautiful tribute to Nelson Mandela from the Midnight Grovers out of Dominica.

Midnight Groovers - Mandela

Don't know why the uploader placed a Lucian rather than a Dominican flag here.

MADIBA TRIBUTE
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvWaDY2ti7I" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/zvWaDY2ti7I</a>

Culture Mix Design would like to say there are no words that could adequately describe the enormous loss of Nelson Mandela to the world.
His devotion to humanity and humanitarian causes,. I give great thanks and respect.
In my view we have lost one of the Greatest Men to ever walk this earth, to the Mandela Family we give such respect to for holding so strong in the face of hate and redemption.
To those who don't know the meaning of "MADIBA",.it is a title of Respect for Nelson Mandela, deriving from his "Xhosa" clan name.

You will not be forgotten Madiba !

Many years ago I attended a concert held by the Signal Hill Alumni choir (I used to go to every one they held every year usually around Christmas time....)

One year, they performed a song that was so beautiful but I couldn't pronounce the words....so I used to make up mih own words..... ;D

Many years later, I was reading Nelson Mandela's autobiography (The Long Walk to Freedom) in which he describes a song that he and the other prisoners used to sing to keep them going while they worked in the lime quarries......I realised it was the same song the Signal Hill Alumni Choir used to sing (and still does) at their concerts.....

This is my musical tribute....."Tchotcholoza"  aka The Train Song.....

p.s. I am trying to find a way to upload my audio copy of Signal Hill Alumi's version.....until then enjoy this version.....

Old lady, young baby, everybody could dingolay...
Dingolay, ay, ay, ay ay,

RIP Shadow....The legend will live on in music...
