Remembering Biko
A protest song against ‘apartheid'

One year later, in 1978, English rock musician Peter Gabriel wrote the song ‘Biko’ in remembrance of the deceased and as a protest song against the ‘apartheid’ regime.

Suthukazi Arosi | 'Umziwasha'
The house is on fire. Let us bring the water
A song about broken family units, values, broken communities, societies. A black family is broken, the human soul is broken.

Jimmy Cliff | A true story
They gave us history, but what about the true story?
Hiding our heritage, to keep us into bondage.
They stole our culture, to say we got no future,
Destroyed our tradition, to keep us into subjection.
They took the natural living and turned it into artificial living.
They took the social living and turned it into socialism
They took the communal living and turned it into communism.
They took the capital living and turned it into capitalism.
