    In mid 80s this song was in high rotation. Still gives me goosebumps. It took another 8 years to set him free.

    This song’s popularity created a strong global awareness about South Africa/Apartheid and Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment. The power of music conveying a message!We definitely need more of this!

    Hi Fay, The dancing style is from 1960s Jamaican Ska music.
    I couldn't find an excellent example online: ua-cam.com/video/K2VUb00deis/v-deo.html.
    But, people first knew the dance as 'Shuffling'. When Jamaican music moved into Reggae, it became 'Skanking'.
    The Specials were from Coventry, UK. In the late 1970s, they were part of a revival of Ska music called 2-Tone (black and white).
    With the song 'Free Nelson Mandela,' they combined Ska and South African rhythms. We can hear Hugh Masekela-type arrangements with the horns.

    Looks like a mash up of break dancing and the kind of moves people used to do in the Northern soul clubs back in the early seventies.

    • @superyobUSA

      Definitely Northern Soul dance moves - and James Brown. Love it!
      Excellent video!

    The Specials dropped "Nelson Mandela" when I was in high school and it's still one of my favorite tunes from back then, happy and sad and defiant all at once. The dance looks like break dancing, but break dancing without touching the ground. A few other tunes from The Specials to check out include "A Message to You Rudy", "Ghost Town", and "Monkey Man".

    Those dancers were passionate !
    To my eyes it is an early form of ' shuffle ' dancing ...
    But it's the few dancers in the video that LOVE to dance and make it thier own style
    It's not basic ska dancing ...

  • @pcoleman1971

    Very interesting. At first I thought this was a cover of the Hugh Masekela song, "Bring Him Back Home (Nelson Mandela)". It's a different song with the same message. If you have a chance, you should check out this song. There is a live version from the Paul Simon Graceland concert posted on UA-cam which has good audio.

    I actually watched a reaction with an African American who did not know who Mandela was!! I’m a London East End girl who loved ska. I bloody knew without the song!

    I keep coming back to this reaction because you understand the political importance of this song.
