♪♫ 46664 That's my number ♫♪

Nice remix

Toots and the Maytals - 46664 That's my number





46664 was Nelson Mandela's prison number when he was incarcerated on Robbin Island, Cape Town for 18 years.

46664 is a global movement fighting against HIV/AIDS in Africa and around the globe and MUSIC is a key element of the 46664 campaign.

In 2003 Jacqui Joseph (TV Presenter & Director of GHC Productions) was asked to host the first "live" Nelson Mandela 46664 Concert at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town with an audience of 40,000 that was broadcast globally and on the internet to 2 Billion people.

Jacqui provided her services for free and interviewed all the artists performing at the concert including Beyonce, Bono, The Edge, Peter Gabriel, Dave Stewart, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Angelique Kidjo and did the voice over for the official 46664 DVD.

As a result of her charity work and involvement with 46664 Jacqui and all involved in the campaign became official Ambassadors to the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Although a number of years have passed since Jacqui fronted the first big 46664 music event she now feels the time is right to re-energise and raise the public awareness and profile for the 46664 campaign.

In order to do this, Jacqui asked Max & Andy (remixer/producers) to come up with a fresh musical anthem & video for the 46664 campaign.

In 2006 Max & Andy completed the track and video and the result is:

46664 (THAT'S MY NUMBER)

46664 (That's my Number) combines samples taken from Nelson Mandela's inaugural 46664 speech in 2003 over dubbed onto an infectious re-mix of pop, ska and reggae classics.

The 46664 (that's my number) video includes images sampled from the first official 46664 DVD and live concert shot in 2003 as well as original clips filmed for the GHC Productions video.

The 46664 (That's my number) is available FREE to stream (it's our way of giving something back and raising awareness for this important campaign) and if you like what we have produced then please pass it onto your friends and family.

Why not visit the 46664 web site and donate some time and money (like we did) in helping to try and rid the world of HIV/AIDS.

Last but not least we'd like to extend a big 'Thank You' to Toots & the Maytals, James Last and Symarip for their inspiration for this track....enjoy
