Recorded in 2005, this video shows Nelson Mandela and a group of performers and entertainers including The Corrs, Mel B (Scary Spice), Michael Stipe, Atomic Kitten and Beverly Knight. Nelson Mandela made a simple request for one of them to sing a song... watch the look of terror spread across their faces until Baaba steps up to the plate and flexs his vocals.
Afterwards, Michael Stipe is quoted as saying "Baaba Maal opened his mouth and beautiful pearls and lilies and songbirds came flying out. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

  • Yes he does, he was the only one courageous enough to sing for the great Nelson Mandela, a man that has been put through a lot in the past. He deserves such an incredible song dedicated to him.
