Latin Quarter - No Rope As Long As Time

[@katepinks9726]

'Freedom don't come easy, don't come bloodless, don't come fast' - wish people would listen to this!!

This was released when apartheid was still used in South Africa. The song was so beautiful and the lyrics so pertinent for the time.

Ist wohl mein Lieblingslied dieser Gruppe. Nach vielen Jahren wieder gehört. (Und es schnürt einem immer noch die Kehle zu; treibt einem die Tränen in die Augen. Zumindest wenn man es bereits in den 80ern gehört hat und den Zusammenhang kennt.)

One of the best singles of the Eighties from a brilliant Album.So deserving of more Success.

What ever happened to Latin Quarter ? One great song and the disappeared

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

+John Harrington Radio Africa reached 19 in the UK Singles Chart back in early '86 but nothing else they released sold as well. There's quite a lot of their other material on YT.

not really have made over 10 albums and still going

[@mafi42]

They reunited in 2012 and released four more albums with new original songs plus "the colour scheme" in 2019 with the classic songs beautifully redone in a trio lineup. And they have been touring nearly annually, mostly in Germany where they always had more success than in their home country. Next tour is planned for Nov 2020 (hopefully Corona will be history by then!), see www.touchofmusic.de

4.23 is the track's length why so much empty space at the end?

we need more songs about Africa's demise today or is it only news if it's at the hands of whites?
