Artist Bio

Artist Bio:
Artists United Against Apartheid was a musical collaboration founded in 1985 by Steven Van Zandt and Arthur Baker to protest against the apartheid regime in South Africa. The group released the song "Sun City," which featured over 50 artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Miles Davis. The song denounced the Sun City resort in South Africa as a symbol of the apartheid system and called for an international boycott of the country.


The group's efforts helped raise awareness about the injustices of apartheid and mobilized the global community to support the anti-apartheid movement. "Sun City" became a powerful anthem against racial segregation and oppression, and the Artists United Against Apartheid project showcased the ability of musicians and artists to use their platform for social and political activism.
