Yet, from this cauldron of chaos rose a moment of pure, defiant hope: the Concert in the Park. In this heart-wrenching 40th-anniversary special, we relive the day when 120,000 black and white South Africans converged at Ellis Park, their voices merging in a thunderous cry for unity, healing, and hunger relief.
Feel the tears well up as Johnny Clegg, Brenda Fassie, Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse, eVoid, Neil Johnson, Alex Jay, PJ Powers, Tim Parr, Heather Mac, Jarrod Aston, Erik & Lucien Windrich, and others recount the electric jolt of performing to a sea of faces—once segregated, now one.
Hear Hilton Rosenthal’s voice tremble as he recalls the spark of inspiration that defied a nation’s skepticism, and let the raw joy of a peaceful revolution wash over you.
This isn’t just a concert’s story—it’s the heartbeat of a rainbow nation daring to dream, a melody of resilience that still echoes through time.
Prepare to be moved by a day that changed South Africa's future. Vinyl Junkie Website · Solid Gold Podcasts #BeHeard · Connect with Benjy on LinkedIn · Music Rights Clearances
