Cape Town based Trenton and Free Radical release a special version of their 2010 track Mr Mandela to celebrate Mandela Day 2013.

In honour of Madiba's love for the youth of South Africa, the band has long since wanted to involve the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and also hoped to work with the South Africa Youth Choir to add a unique sound to this tribute track. This dream has now come true and after 6 months of planning the work.

It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world. - Nelson Mandela
