In hour 1, we pay tribute to Nelson Mandela and all who worked, struggled, and died to bring freedom to South Africa. We'll hear anti-apartheid freedom songs from around the world, as well as the voices of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko. In hour 2, we'll check out some more pan-African sounds, travel once again to New Orleans, and enjoy another slab of sonic power from the late great WERU dj, Charlie Oldham.
