I have commissioned a new interpretation of South Africa’s National Anthem arranged by Don Johnson and played by the Happy Turkey Farm Band. Don has previously arranged a version of Shosholoza for me. Thanks Don!

This is a link to a YouTube video slide show with 48 Thanda images to celebrate both musical pieces. Enjoy them!
