South African DJ Maphorisa enlists Mlindo The Vocalist, Moonchild Sanelly, Stilo Magolide and Sbucardo Da DJ and this hot Gqom tune titled “Dance Like Mandela”.
“Today marks the 100th birthday of Nelson Mandela, one of the most important political activists of our time and a symbol of peaceful resistance on behalf of human rights.
To celebrate his birthday I teamed up with REPRESENT on #DANCELIKEMANDELA – a campaign that wants to inspire young people all over the world to become a catalyst for social change through music and dance.
The track is a tribute to Nelson Mandela who was not only a lawyer, an activist, a president, and a Nobel prize winner, but also a dancer. He was famous for getting up in any setting, whether on the political campaign trail, at the UN, or at a party, with his iconic Madiba Shuffle. He famously stated, “It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.”
You can get involved as well! Upload a video of yourself dancing to the track using the hashtag #DANCELIKEMANDELA and tell the world why you dance like Mandela -its your chance to raise awareness for an issue that is important for your community and that you want to change!”
