In a celebration of unity, history, and sportsmanship, a timeless classic is reborn with the release of the iconic remix of “World in Union.” Synonymous with Nelson Mandela’s liberation after 27 years of incarceration, South Africa’s reintegration into the global community, and the nation’s triumphant victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, “World in Union” holds a special place in the hearts of South Africans and rugby enthusiasts around the world.
Renowned artist PJ Powers, affectionately known as ‘Thandeka’ by the majority of South Africans and considered one of the ‘adopted daughters’ of Nelson Mandela, was the natural choice to perform the official Rugby World Cup Theme when South Africa hosted the tournament. With a voice that resonates with passion and history, she became a symbol of the nation’s spirit during that historic event.
As 2023 marks the Springboks’ journey to defend their Rugby World Cup title in France and commemorates the 10th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s passing, the time is ripe for a new rendition of “World in Union.” This powerful remix, a collaboration between PJ Powers and DJ Cosher, the creator of numerous successful remixes of iconic hits, aims to reignite the same sense of unity and determination that defined Mandela’s legacy and the Springboks’ historic victory.
PJ Powers expressed her excitement about the project: “The original ‘World in Union’ embodied the strength of our nation during a crucial period in our history. With this remix, we want to channel that same energy and determination to inspire both our rugby team and every South African to come together, just as we did before. Music has the power to bring people together, and we believe this remix will serve as a rallying cry for our beloved Springboks.”
The remix of “World in Union” encapsulates the essence of the original while infusing modern beats and dynamic elements that resonate with the younger generation. By bridging the gap between history and contemporary music, the remix aims to ignite a sense of national pride and unity, echoing Mandela’s message of hope, reconciliation, and perseverance.
As the Rugby World Cup 2023 approaches, “World in Union” will undoubtedly become a new anthem, symbolizing South Africa’s indomitable spirit and the Springboks’ pursuit of victory on the global stage. The remix is now available on all major music platforms, inviting fans to join in the celebration and embrace the timeless message of unity and triumph.
