Top Tep Anti-Apartheid Reggae Songs
As we celebrate Freedom Day we look back on an overlooked historical fact, that of the contribution Reggae made in fighting, denouncing and openly shaming apartheid, using the most potent weapon – music. Reggae is more than just beach summer music and for feeling ire, it has social and cultural depth. Its impact has a global reach and most importantly its militancy guaranteed that the capitalist culture vultures keep a safe distance away from exploiting it, well at least for now.
