British actor Idris Elba — best known for his roles in Pacific Rim, Luther, The Wire and last year’s Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom — also includes musician, producer and DJ on his resume and on his newest project those worlds are colliding. It’s not a part in a new film but, rather, a new album of original material in tribute to Nelson Mandela and his late father. The 11-track mi Mandela will come out on Elba’s own 7wallace imprint in conjunction with Parlophone Records on Nov. 24.
