He was a social commentator and sang about corruption, colonisation and the general 'blindness' of Africans.
The problems he sang about in the 70s are still relevant today.
I grew up listening to this man and I've started to 're'-appreciate the amazing music he left behind before he died in 1997.
This song is in particular is song one is one of my favourites, along with Zombie, Shuffering and Shmiling and Water No Get Enemy.
He wrote 'Unknown Soldier' after his mother died by falling out of a window when 1000 soldiers were sent to destroy his home. The government claimed it was an unknown soldier that committed the act.
But he knew better...
