South African Anthem, an Alternative Version, 'We the People'Date: May 3, 2010 Choir type: Professional Choirs Voicing: Mixed
With the imminent World Cup Soccer due to take place in South Africa in June, and in order to counteract the massive rhetoric and hate songs being sung by radical elements in power, I have composed and created a video recording of a new unifying song, the MP3 of which can be downloaded onto mobile phones to oppose all the negativity going on in my country.
It would be great if all those travelling to South Africa for the World Cup Soccer could learn to sing this alternative anthem in the football stadia as the games progress.
At a price of $2.00 per MP3 download, (half of which will be donated to a worthy homeless children's fund in South Africa), the video of this song is available for viewing on U-Tube under the title of "South African Anthem, an Alternative Version, We, the People", or it can be googled, or alternatively go to my website www.gospel-choral-music.co.za.
There are more than 2 million South Africans living abroad and if this initiative can spark it may become a positive influence to those expatriats and the rest of sane South Africans alike.
Please support this! It is important.
