This is fantastic! Many talk about Paul Simon touring South Africa in 1986 but no way does he attempt that if this show hadn't been so successful

Many Caribbean artists were very vocal against Apartheid,who could forget that witty hit song by Eddie Grant give me hope Johanna,many people thought he was singing about a girl,but the song was an overt anti apartheid song. Africa will always love Caribbean people for how they stood with us in our fight against imperialism and apartheid. Africa loves Caribbean.

[@beaverbrookwiggan1276]

😀👍

[@irvingtaylor5353]

I wish I was old enough to have experienced those old school reggae artists during that time. They brought so much power and good vibes with them it gives me chills to learn and hear about it. Being from Chicago to know Peter Tosh and Bob Marley blew into the windy city is much for me. I was a young boy when they came thur, didn't know about reggae music growing up in Chicago during the 80's. Reggae music didn't get any air during that time in Chicago.

[@isurvive8251]

yea was there for a lot of it - I call it the Golden Age of reggae roots music

[@whodunit3949]

[@MsWildberry1]

Jimmy Cliff was the first artist to stand up against Apartheid irrespective of the consequences to himself musically and personally. Great video RAS. ❤️💛💚🖤

[@phyllisthompson4207]

Also Peter Tosh, who would never go to SA.

[@kenneth6417]

First time hearing this ,pretty bold decision on Jimmy's part I am very impressed by the reggae King.

Reggae music brings peace and love

[@lineoseboko4021]

I think you should ask Jimmy Cliff about the performance he held in Lesotho in the 80s. A cloud of dust engulfed the stadium.

[@miket7815]

Your channel is is wonderful. You’re doing good work. Keep it up society long as you keep making these video. I’m part of you. Great music, great reggae music.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

[@jujufisherofmen]

Great work as always! I know and love his songs but never heard about that concert. Thank you teacher! 🫡

[@Infinitebrandon]

Reminds me when the people lowered the sick girl down from the roof because the crowd around Jesus was too big. 👏😭. Bless you all who united

[@KennyTseraha-xg6gu]

I always remember Ziggy Marley's song - Jah got the power to move ya. Jimmy made a statement about Apartheid. Also so brave and he used his music powers to show unity. Wow. Wonderful story. God bless him and South Africa today. Regards from Bougainville Island, Buka, PNG.❤❤😂😂

[@blakyut1956]

[@ashebermulugata9]

Being an adherent of Ras Tafari Movemant in the late 1960s InI had the overstanding about how evil the apartheid regime in South Afrika was. InI chanted constantly against it and all forms of settler colonialism n neo colonialism worldwide including here in the island of Jamaica. Ras Tafari Movemant stands firmly for Afrikan Liberation.

[@SandieRawnsley]

I was there. A white 24 year old girl. It was magical. The dust from all the dancing in the sand, the smiles and a sense of freedom and camaraderie amongst people that were so used to being separated. Together in music. I will never forget it.

l secured the concert in Cape town Hartleyveil Stadium. It was the first time for whites to be allowed to be with non whites. By them the Cape town townships Langa Gugulethu and Nyanga East had all combined a population of about 200 000 people. The stadium was full of young progressive whites mostly and s few non whites. Up to date that was a show that gave us hope that Apartheid was going to end. Liberal whites were dancing with black people for the first time. What a spectacle given the illegality of the act in a normal Apartheid RSA. The show is still vivid in my mind up to date 🌹🌹🌹

jimmy is the one that audition bob marley

[@edmundlubega9647]

Imagine if Bob Marley had had the opportunity to perform there.....

[@tiffanybrown368]

But he did…. That’s what most of you fail to realize, Bob was the oppressors tool. If Bob was real he would’ve let the world know Peter Tosh was the true king of Reggae Music…. Bob was used as a political tool. There were bigger artists than Bob, however Bob had the complexion.

[@ibukunilevbare9170]

​@@tiffanybrown368 hmm you felt so! Men were born with different destiny.Bob was targeted for death because the system saw he had refused to work for them
