The song “Biko,” a tribute to the murdered South African human rights activist Stephen Biko, marked a turning point in Gabriel’s career. For the first time, he directly addressed political and social issues - in this instance, the struggle against the apartheid system of racial segregation in South Africa. Gabriel had long admired the work of African and Middle Eastern musicians, and his own music increasingly reflected their influence. 5:35 [Academy Of Achievement]
"Racism is such a terrible scourge of our world. We see it here in the U.K. now with European football, with these horrible racist remarks, about some of the football players." 6:00 Peter Gabriel in a recent interview.
Gabriel has also been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. In 1980, he released the anti-apartheid single Biko. He has participated in several human rights benefit concerts, including Amnesty International’s Human Rights Now! tour in 1988, and co-founded the Witness human rights organisation in 1992. Gabriel developed The Elders with Richard Branson, which was launched by Nelson Mandela in 2007. [London Speaker Bureau] 6:07
"Black Consciousness seeks to infuse the black community with a new-found pride in themselves, their efforts, their value systems, their culture, their religion and their outlook to life." 4:56 Steven Biko
Steven Biko... Peter Gabriel... Both, perfect examples of; it really is possible, for one person to change the world, and make it a better place to live in... Don't let anyone convince you of the opposite...
Me too. I'm also handicapped now and can't travel to his shows. When I first saw him on his solo tour after leaving Genesis, it cost me a whole 50pennies back then in the mid-70's. It was all of my pocket money for the week but by gosh, he was worth it a hundred times over. I've seen Peter often enough over the years and I am always amazed with his creativity andolder songs also still sound ans feel so new. God bless you and your work, Peter xo
Oltre alla grandezza e l'importanza cui è DEDICATA questa opera d'arte ......ma è grandiosa una versione epocale grande in assoluto PETER GABRIEL è uno dei più bravi artisti poeta e musicista e autore grande grazie di esistere
Lo mataron y solo por defender una causa justa, de no ser estropeados y marginados...no pedía mucho, simplemente vivir en igualdad de condiciones de derechos como todo ser humano anhela, sin distinción de raza o clase social, por eso siempre se le recordara....
Uhhh ALL versions of this song are emotional. On the day we return, blood will be shed! Come spirit. Come spirit. What have we done? What have we done?
Biko, Steve Biko. We In Toxteth Will Never Forget. In the princess park area Nelson Mandela Remains To Be Written On Our Community Walls. ' Freedom '. ( to my mum , never forgotten mum. Im still living your dreams though ever beat of my heart. (:- born africa , passed wales.)
The best version. I´ve ever heard!!! Have hope, You´ve morte of him.......Shit nix! Welches Orchester hat gespielt, an welchem Tag und WO! Keine Info?????
And the eyes of the world are watching now. Nowaday our eyes should be watching to anothe cruel #Apartheid State, it is #israel. When the world stops keeping Silent?
“The greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” Steve Biko
Nobody in today's music scene can compare to Gabriel.
What about another Artis Against #Apartheid? Mr Roger Waters. Respect!
@@robbiehoekstra7727 Roger Waters is an Antisemit. He's a Nazi with Suit.
Sorry to say it, but that is totally bullshit@@Krefelder
@@KrefelderDon't be stupid! Everyone that opposes the crimes of the s10n@z1 state you g e n o c i d e supporters call "antisemite". Go get a life!
His name and memory still lives on while those who committed these atrocities are forgotten forever 😢😢😢
💔✊🏻😔
Wow what a journey, Stiven Biko will never die as long as there is someone who speaks his name.

BIKO! 💔✊🏻
A remarkable song by Gabriel that actually had far reaching influence and brought attention to the attrocities taking place in South Africa.
You can
Blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
RIP Stephen Biko
Has there ever been a more emotional and powerful lyric written

„Port Elisabeth, weather fine!
It was business as usual in Policeroom 619!“….
This line always makes me sad!….
It‘s when a man died!….
"Port Elisabeth" - not quite. It's a reference to the jubilee of the British queen Elizabeth
You don't know very much, do you...?
Steven Biko...
Peter Gabriel...
Both, perfect examples of; it really is possible, for one person to change the world, and make it a better place to live in...
Don't let anyone convince you of the opposite...
The Ultimate Goal to my Bucket - List!
Can‘t wait to see him in June 2023!
I've wanted to see him live ever since I heard Biko on the B-Side to In Your Eyes 12". Thankfully, I saw him in Manchester 23/06/2023. It was amazing.
Bobby Sands, Nelson Mandela true hero’s ✊🏽🍀
I missed him in Hamburg this year...😢......I can't pay this......But Peter is the musician, who touched my heart nearly 60 years ❤

I'm amazed, his voice still has lost nothing of it's power, he can still make me cry, he has with me for decades.
Thanks Mr.Gabriel i grow up with your geat music.❤

Most of the sheep in audience probably don't know who Steven Biko is
Giants stadium version is way deeper & much more emotionally charged than this.
