As a South African musician growing up during the terrible days of apartheid, I always found that music had a way of bringing people together, regardless of race, culture or beliefs. As a teenager, I used to sneak out to the African townships to play music with my friends there, and when Nelson Mandela was released from prison, I performed at all his rallies, singing about unity and a peaceful transition to democracy in South Africa. I composed "Siyajabula" on the day Mandela was released. It means "We are happy!" And we were ecstatic! 
Since then, we've been touring the world, giving concerts, releasing albums, and giving workshops in schools, colleges and communities to promote multi-cultural experiences and end violence. 
So come on board The Peace Train. We're really looking forward to seeing and hearing from you!
