His 1982 album '' Rasta '' , which featured The Wailers ' first recording since the death of Bob Marley as well as a tribute to Nelson Mandela , gained him international prestige and topped the Yugoslavian pop charts . It was because of this recording that he was introduced to the political prisoner and soon-to-be South African president Nelson Mandela , and in 1996 , Mandela requested that Zephaniah host the president 's Two Nations Concert at the Royal Albert Hall , London . Zephaniah was poet in residence at the chambers of Michael Mansfield QC , and sat in on the inquiry into Bloody Sunday and other cases , these experiences leading to his '' Too Black , Too Strong '' poetry collection ( 2001 ) . '' We Are Britain ! '' ( 2002 ) is a collection of poems celebrating cultural diversity in Britain
