Song that raised attention and awareness of what happening in South Africa

Today, I am going to introduce a song that raised attention and awareness of what were happening in South Africa.

"Biko" is a protest song by British rock musician Peter Gabriel. It is about Steve Biko, a noted black South African anti-apartheid activist. Biko had been arrested by the South African police in late August 1977. After being held in custody for several days, he was interrogated in room 619 of the Walmer Street prison in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. Following the interrogation, during which he sustained serious head injuries, Biko was transferred to a prison in Pretoria, where he died shortly afterwards, on 12 September 1977.
