Pas keqёsimit dramatik tё situatёs nё Afrikёn e Jugut nga mesi i viteve 80 dhe raportimeve gjithnjё e mё tё shpeshta tё shtypit ndёrkombёtar rreth masakrave dhe regjimit shtypёs, opinioni filloi tё sensibilizohej gjithnjё e mё tepёr. Nė mėnyrė tė veēantė, ndaj problemeve nё Afrikёn e Jugut reagoi skena muzikore. Projekti humanitar "Sun City", nё tё cilin, nё shenjё proteste kundёr racizmit nё Afrikёn Jugut u morėn pjesė mbi 50 yje ndёrkombёtare tё skenės sė popit dhe xhazit si Brus Springstin, Majls Davis etj., ishte shumė i suksesshёm. Desmond Tutu u pёrmend veēanėrisht nё kёngёn e U2 "Silver and Gold" (shih tekstin nё katror). Majls Davis e titulloi madje albumin e saj tё vitit 1986 "Tutu". Tё ardhurat nga projekti "Sun City" iu dedikuan tё burgosurve politikė dhe familjeve tё tyre, institucioneve edukative dhe kulturore si dhe grupeve anti-aparteid.

Kёngёtari i U2, Bono, nё pasazhin e pėrmendur tё kёngёs sё tij "Silver and Gold" (albumi "Rattle and Hum", Island 1988) shprehet:
"This song was written in a hotel room in New York City 'round about the time a friend of ours, Little Steven, was putting together a record of "Artists Against Apartheid". This is a song written about a man in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of white South Africa. A man who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the west while they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa..."
