Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City album flac

Artists United Against Apartheid was a 1985 protest group founded by activist and performer Steven Van Zandt and record producer Arthur Baker to protest against apartheid in South Africa. The group produced the song "Sun City" and the album Sun City that year, which is considered a notable anti-apartheid song. Sun City was a place where the South African government allowed entertainment that was banned in most of the country.

Artists United Against Apartheid was organized by "Little Steven" Van Zandt, who discovered Sun City when he traveled to Africa after leaving Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band in 1985. Van Zandt considered naming artists who played the Sun City resort in the song, but decided not to. He asked them to participate in the project instead. Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Run-D. Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt, Bono, Melle Mel, Keith Richards, Jackson Browne, and George Clinton are some of the 54 artists who contributed to the song.

That we can dance while we're organizing is this record's greatest triumph. The five half-brothers of the Wilbury family were hokey but hip, and their individual strengths complemented one another perfectly.

Artists United Against Apartheid was a 1985 protest group founded by activist and performer Steven Van Zandt (Little Steven) and record producer Arthur Baker to protest apartheid in South Africa. Apartheid was a system of racial segregation between years 1948 - 1994. The rights of the majority non-white inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy was maintained. Sun City was (and still is) a luxury casino and resort situated in South Africa. It was founded in the late 70's. Also many African American artists performed in Sun City during the apartheid. One of the controversial things about African American acts going to South Africa to play Sun City was that the South African government would label the artist "honorary whites". Their ears and minds must have been burning when hearing the Sun City lyrics: "Twenty-three million can't vote 'cause they're black.
