1989 song by Simple Minds
"Mandela Day " is a song by the rock band Simple Minds . It was included in the single "Ballad of the Streets " EP British charts in February 1989 and in their album Street Fighting Years Belfast Child ", originally its A-side in the full length version, and "Biko ".
"Mandela Day " was written for the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute (also known as Mandela Day),[1] Wembley Stadium , London, on 11 June 1988, as an expression of solidarity with the then-imprisoned Nelson Mandela , and was played live on that day (alongside cover versions of "Sun City" with Little Steven and a cover version of Peter Gabriel's "Biko" on which Gabriel himself took on lead vocals).
The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan .[2]
