Madiba: the clan or family name of Nelson Mandela. This composition reflects Wouter and Ricky's feelings of gratitude towards the great leader and pays tribute through a musical prayer that is equal parts power and tenderness. Mandela was inspired on his initial path of peaceful resistance by Mahatma Gandhi and this piece reflects that bi-continental influence as well.
