Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City


Info: Lidt af en klassiker blandt de mere mainstream-orienterede støttealbums, og en god repræsentant for den bredde, som den folkelige modstand nåede i kampen mod apartheid i Sydafrika op gennem 1980'erne. Pladen er et opråb om international kulturel boykot af den 'hvide' luksusferieressort Sun City, der stod symbol på apartheidregimets groteske diskrimation og den rige vestlige verdens ansvar for at vedligeholde systemet.

En række stjerner spiller lidt af hvert med Sun City som bærende nummer.

Info: Bit of a classic among the more mainstream-oriented benefit albums, and a good representative of the breadth of popular opposition reached in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa during the 1980s. The record is a call for international cultural boycott of the 'white' luxurious holiday resort Sun City, which was symbolic of the apartheid regime's grotesque discrimination and the rich western world's responsibility for supporting the system.

A variety of stars plays a little of everything with "Sun City" as bearing number.
