Hi folks! A friend of mine, who's a school teacher has asked me to compile a CD of Anti-Aparthied songs for her to use in lessons. I've been through my fairly large record collection and picked out what I have but I still need more tracks. So I'm hoping for some good suggestions from you people at the CBR 'Music' forum.
The only condition is that they have to be specifically about Apartheid in South Africa and not just general civil rights/anti-rascism songs. They don't have to be really famous songs but at the same time I don't want anything that's impossibly obscure. Also, if possible, I'd like to limit it to songs from the Aparthied era (50s, 60s, 70s & 80s) but I'll consider anything.
OK, here's a list of the songs I've got so far...
The Special AKA - Nelson Mandela
Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City
Labi Siffre - (Something Inside) So Strong
Peter Gabriel - Biko
Simple Minds - Mandela Day
Bright Blue - Madiba
UB40 - Sing Our Own Song
Stevie Wonder - It's Wrong (Apartheid)
Eddie Grant - Gimme Hope Joanna
Bert Jansch - Anti Apartheid
All suggestions are very welcome.
