A Wouter Kellerman video selected by www.Free-Mail.co.za:
I wrote this song for Nelson Mandela, painting his life with the colours of the flute.
It starts with him growing up in his rural Transkei, where he was very close to nature and spent some time herding cattle. When I was writing this song, I was thinking of him sitting by his cattle, listening to the beautiful sounds of nature, which even then must have been tinged with a touch of sadness, showing what was to come in his life.
In the next section he moves to the city and the peacefulness of nature makes space for the hustle and bustle of city life and a train of events that would gather a momentum of it’s own and take control of his life.
And then in the last section he retires and finally has time to spend with his family and be peaceful again.
The piece ends on an unfinished note, showing that, even when his life is over, his memory and influence will carry on and sustain us far into the future..
