Weekend Playlist: Freedom

Weekend Playlist: Freedom

Here's a weekend playlist created by me and guest curator John APG looking at X/twitter selections (25/04/2023) with Songs that reference Freedom!
All this was to celebrate Freedom Day on April 27th in South Africa to commemorate the first post-apartheid elections held on that day 30 years ago in 1994 and the day on which the new constitution was introduced..
