Christy Moore - Biko Drum (TV session)
Loading...
Uploaded by partridge662 on Sep 17, 2006
Christy Moore and Friends sing Wally Page's 'Biko Drum', a tribute to the Black South African civil rights hero Steve Biko who was brutally murdered in a jail cell by the Apartheid White South African State. Nelson Mandela also gets a mention.
This is from some program on RTE but fucked if I can't remember what it was. From the same Irish TV program as 'Viva la Quinta Brigada' ( see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qypb3JIZN4 ), and nabbed from http://www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~justy/ . Enjoy!

Actually heard this on WHTG 106.3 back in 1980's in NJ. It was a great time for alternative music.
