If you are in the right mood, give this song a try. I think the right mood is relaxed.

Manqoba is the song played during the credits after the film Goodbye Bafana. It's South African (Zulu) inspired pop. Bonus if you got good loudspeakers with bass!

Some facts about the film (IMDb and Wikipedia):

GOODBYE BAFANA is the true story of a white South African racist whose life was profoundly altered by the black prisoner he guarded for twenty years. The prisoner's name was Nelson Mandela.
Goodbye Bafana (released on DVD in the United States as The Color of Freedom) is a 2007 drama film, directed by Bille August, about the relationship between Nelson Mandela (Dennis Haysbert) and James Gregory (Joseph Fiennes), his censor officer and prison guard, based on Gregory's book Goodbye Bafana: Nelson Mandela, My Prisoner, My Friend. The movie also explores the relationship of James Gregory and his wife as their life changes while Mandela is under Gregory's watch.

Bafana means 'boys'. Gregory lived on the farm and he had a black friend when he was a kid, and that is the reason Gregory is able to speak Xhosa.

 
Golbez thank you, that is the nicest melody I've heard for some time. It made me curious about the film, and after Wiki'ed it I think I'll buy it if I find it.

You are welcome Romero. Snake Plissken is one of my favorite characters of all time. If I am not mistaken he actually serves as part of the inspiration for Solid Snake.

Quite right, Golbez, quite right. In the MGS game: Sons of Liberty/Substance, Solid Snake goes by the alias of Pliskin - coincidence? I think not - not to mention the stunning resemblance.
