I listened to the (original Germany release) vinyl album some forty years ago, and have since then time and again had the ‘…no Bophuthatswana, no Transkei…’ in my head. Very cool to finally actually head this song again!
My favorite album of Manfred Mann's Earth Band. I have it on vinyl in two editions - German and US. Excellent music, performance, studio work, everything in this album.
I recall when the LP was released in November 1983 and the Toronto Star gave it a glowing review in the Saturday record review section. The music has been in my favourite file for 30+ years.
+Hugh May I agree. Also: this was the ultimate ANTI Apartheid album. Or (dare I say) the ultimate protest made by a white rock group. Where were the others? Their (probarbly) best rock album..and I LIKE IT
the earth bands penultimate work , audio art , the most complex arrangement i have heard , dont care about any political ideaologies attributed to it , what else compares to the artistry involved .., tip , play it LOUD !
The four parts are: 1 - Brothers and Sisters of Africa 2 - To Bantustan? 3 - Koze Kobenini? (How Long Must We Wait?) 4 - Brothers and Sisters of Azania Interestingly, the original release ended on "Lalela" rather than on "Brothers and Sisters of Azania".
@@clasencoach I'm envious of people who can post links on CZcams without being swallowed by the spam filter! Also, I spent quite a bit of time working on that Wikipedia article. 😀
@@clasencoach I just realized it's still a bit bare. All I did was untangle the various tracklists. I should write something about the album's history, which is quite interesting (due to the "illicitly" recorded African chants). Unfortunately, there aren't too many of us Earth Band fans out there...
I can just listen to this again n again, as can my students. I am an aussie teaching the sons n daughters of Africa xxx
Thank you for being a teacher!

Ребята! Одна из лучших вещей Манфреда!
Согласен. Моя любимая вещь тех лет.
Amazing!
I was working in Lesotho in 87 and it was banned in SA. Great music
Still fantastisk.
Terrible cet album, l'un de mes préférés de Manfred Mann avec le premier ovni que j'ai croisé dans ma vie : Nightingales and Bombers.
When I saw the record cover online I thought it was a rap groups album cover from just recent .
Got the vinyl from my dad and I really like it!
The four parts are:
1 - Brothers and Sisters of Africa
2 - To Bantustan?
3 - Koze Kobenini? (How Long Must We Wait?)
4 - Brothers and Sisters of Azania
Interestingly, the original release ended on "Lalela" rather than on "Brothers and Sisters of Azania".
Actually, it is the version in this CZcams video that is the alternative one. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somewhere_in_Afrika#US_version

@@progmeup Well, that is one of the beauties of Wikipedia. You can add, alter, update whenever.
Just listened to the album in the real world and will use this link to share
It's remained in my vinyl collection since it's release. A great album! Thanks for sharing it with others.
i keep coming back, if it were not for hte musicans that care. peter gabriel, bob marley, would we have even known?
Lost the only cassette tape of it i ever found....bummer...gone forever....
this is good stuff
I am from South Africa and wondering why Manfred's Earth Band never came down here- after all he is a South African national.
A good point. I don't know. The band was obviously influenced by the culture.
I think he was banned from re-entering the country due to his anti-apartheid stance.
+David Meece my world history teacher was South African by birth and introduced me to this album thank you Mr. Sherwin
Yes - he was Banned - as the FIRST White person from South Africa - Makes you think....
Also from SA, and wondered the same thing. I think MMEB are one of the best bands in the world. Mick Rogers is an amazing guitarist
Supeeeeeeeer
thank you
You're welcome..............
