Tracy Chapman performing "Born to fight "and "Freedom Now",live at the Nelson Mandela:An International tribute to free South Africa concert. Accompanied by Daniel Lanois. On 16.4.1990,at Wembley stadium.
This performance is quite special with two symbolic songs " Born To Fight" & "Freedom Now" - A Perfect Set to Nelson Mandela! Tracy Chapman loved and supported Nelson Mandela, Nelson Mandela loved Tracy Chapman’s music and appreciated her. The two met in 1990 at the Free South Africa concert. But Tracy Chapman didn’t wait 1990 nor even 1988 to gave him support: in fact when she was still a student at Tufts University Tracy performed at an Anti-Apartheid concert organised by Brian Koppelman. When Nelson Mandela attended the Free South Africa show in 1990, he really wanted to see Tracy performed as he recalls in his book “Conversation with myself” (2010): "I Wanted to see Tracy Chapman and the Manhattan Brothers... I have always be intrigued by that young lady and I was sitting in a box ... when she came on stage I was really excited and she then started playing..." (I lived in South Africa two years of my childhood during the apartheid time between 66 and 68. It was a developed country but without cultural entity and for me as a kid was disgusting because I couldn't play with the children I wanted to. Even Europeans with black hair like us were so-called "European mulattos"!) The origin of Mankind took origin in Africa but "You should never underestimate the power of human stupidity..." (Yuval Harari author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind) Nelson Mandela was the Greatest as his friend Muhammad Ali! May the Universe bless both. Thank you so much for posting this stuff about Nelson Mandela!
I LOVE watching Tracy Chapman on RU-vid because I get a front row seat to see her in concert, but it would be a dream come true to see her LIVE in concert anywhere.
She performing at nelson Mandela birthday concert and the gig not long after he was released from prison. Both on the BBC. She knew how to make an statement.
Tracy is the GREATEST!! I've all her albums including her "Collections," her "GREATEST HITS" and the "Take 3 Girls: Tracy Chapman, Kate Bush Joni Mitchell." That's an album sung by covers.

They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping soo he'd die That his body and spirit would waste away And soon after that his mind But every day is born a fool One who thinks that he can rule One who says tomorrow's mine One who wakes one day to find The prison doors open the shackles broken And chaos in the street Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping his memory'd die That the people forget how he once led And fought for justice in their lives But every day is born a man Who hates what he can't understand Who thinks the answer is to kill Who thinks his actions are god's will And he thinks he's free free free free Yes he thinks he's free free free free He thinks he's free free free free Soon must come the day When the righteous have their way Unjustly tried are free And people live in peace I say Give the man release Go on and set your conscience free Right the wrongs you made Even a fool can have his day Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Free our bodies free our minds Free our hearts Freedom for everyone And freedom now Freedom now Freedom now Freedom now Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free
