(South Africa) Vusi Mahlasela's passionate singing was featured in the film "Amandla," which focused on the remarkable music that came out of the resistance movement in South Africa during the Apartheid era. The strength and beauty of this music impressed many westerners, who were taken aback to see severly oppressed people, who had so little, still capable of creating transcendent, joyous music.  In that spirit, Mahlasela's golden voice expresses both the sadness and triumph of the times.
