Bring Him Back Home (Nelson Mandela)
"Bring Him Back Home (Nelson Mandela)", also known as "Bring Him Back Home", is an anthemic protest song written by South African musician Hugh Masekela. It was released as the first track of his 1987 album ''Tomorrow''. It was recorded in 1986 when Masekela was in exile from the apartheid regime of South Africa. The melody of the song is buoyant, containing a number of powerful chords and trumpet riffs. The lyrics of the song demand the release of Black South African leader Nelson Mandela, who had been imprisoned by the white South African government on Robben Island since 1962. The song became enormously popular, and turned into an unofficial anthem of the anti-apartheid movement. It became one of Masekela's most performed live songs. It was later used as a part of the official soundtrack to the documentary film Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. It was included in the 2001 collection ''The Best of Hugh Masakela'', released by Columbia records.〔
==Writing==
Black South African leader Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1962. He was a great fan of Hugh Masekela's music, and on Masekela's birthday in 1985, smuggled out a letter to him expressing his good wishes. Masekela was inspired to write "Bring Him Back Home" in response.〔 In interviews, Masekela has expressed admiration for Mandela, saying "Mandela was the symbol. He was the voice of all () people." Sam Raditlhalo writes that the reception of Mandela's letter, and the writing of Bring Him Back Home, marked Masekela's evolution into an anti-apartheid activist.
