cast your self back to September 1980 & peter Gabriel,s latest offering is released & even has Phil Collins on bagpipes !!! and when Peter performed it live in 1986 he was memorably transported by the audience all along the crowd to the chorus of Oh! Biko .........Oh Biko....sheer magic.........

Uno más de Peter Gabriel. ¡Un temazo... y todo lo que representa en sí! BIKO. Se refiere a Steven Biko. Un símbolo de ese tiempo en su tierra natal, y para todos, en su lucha contra el apparheid.

I recall the daily news reports of the calls for an independent investigation of Steve Biko's death, and the bringing to justice of those responsible. Apartheid was on the ropes by this stage, though it would be another 12 years or so before it was consigned to the trash bin of history. This song is an eloquent portrayal of the inexorable tide of justice that would not be contained, as well as being one of the best album closers in rock history.

Peter Gabriel ist einfach klasse! Ein vielseitiger Musiker, Performer, hat einen ausgeprägten Gerechtigkeitssinn, setzt sich für die Unterdrückten ein... Dieser Mann hat meinen absoluten Respekt! Ich empfehle seine Biografie, fesselnd von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite.
