Artist: National Wake

Album: Walk In Africa 1979-81 (2013)

Why Its Great: From a historical standpoint this song is a snapshot of apartheid South Africa through the eyes of a controversially-multi-racial band and from a music standpoint it’s also a pretty awesome punk song with a reggae twist.

Best Listened To: In context of its parent album.

Key Lyric: They put a blanket over Soweto/They put a blanket, nowhere to go, no/ They put a blanket over the news
