	Johnny Clegg (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jonathan (Johnny) Clegg, born June 7, 1953 in Rochdale near Manchester, (UK), is a popular musician from South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka.
		Juluka's / Clegg's music was both implicitly and explicitly political: not only was the fact of the success of the band (which openly celebrated African culture in a non-racial band) a thorn in the flesh of a political system based on racial separation; the band also produced some explicitly political songs.
		Clegg's new album is being remixed at Real World Studios in Bath, England, and had been expected to be released in January 2006, though that month has come and gone with no word of the album.

	juluka Mp3 Albums Review
		Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu's second album, considered their breakthough album, through word of mouth and live performances.
		Johnny Clegg is the best kept secret in the music industry, but I hope you will discover for yourself what his fans have known for years...this man is pure musical genius, underappreciated by the conformist music corporations and bland radio stations, but its their loss and the fans gain.
		Clegg is a household name in many parts of Europe, and of course SA, where he did much more than has yet been fully appreciated, to break down cultural barriers.

		Johnny and his partner Dudu could step to the front of the stage and exhaust YOU with the energy they exerted in their traditional dances, which had them leaping into the air with an almost superhuman exuberance.
		I was already marginally familiar with Johnny Clegg via his first albums with Jaluka (issued on Warner Brothers in the late seventies/early eighties) and always found his mix of Zulu music with western pop to be interesting.

	Clegg Live
		Johnny Clegg had first come to prominence in his home country of South Africa as the white half of the legendary musical duo Juluka, who boldly broke down their country's social and cultural barriers with their eclectic, multilingual music.
		While Clegg did temporarily reunite with Sipho Mchunu for a new Juluka album and a couple of tours, he has spent the last five years performing as a solo artist.
		As good as the concert performance on this DVD is, and as good as the live concert I saw from Clegg's recent American tour was, those shows are forced to compete with the memory of a night whose legend grows with each retelling.

		An Englishman who grew up in his mother's native Zimbabwe, and who immigrated to South Africa when he was 9, Johnny Clegg was a white youth growing up in the difficult days of the apex of the South African apartheid.
		When he was 14, Johnny began playing the guitar, and got very interested in the music of the migrant Zulu workers, the cheap labor force of Johannesburg in the 1960's.
		Though he was frequently arrested, that did not deter him from learning the musical culture of the Zulus, and he spent a lot of time on the outskirts of Johannesburg, where the workers lived, learning the musical and dance styles of this culture.

		However, far from just copying music Johnny's songs were actually played in the township shebeen (pubs) and one of his first songs, Woza Friday, which interestingly bombed in the popular charts, were played all over the shebeens and made Johnny a household name.
		Johnny is famous for his incredibly energetic live concerts and he has created a unique dance style that resembles the gum boot dances of the diamond mining teams in Johannesburg.
		Johnny said that of all the tour dates the UK date would be the night he would most fondly remember and it was easy to see why.

		The white, English-speaking, society and Black, African, culture of South Africa was brought together by Johnny Clegg.

		Clegg's second band, Savuka, which took its name from the Zulu word meaning "we have risen" or "we have awakened", took a more pop-minded approach to African music.

		Later, while reading social anthropology at Wits University, Clegg formed a friendship with a migrant worker and musician named Sipho Mchunu, and in 1972 the two began performing together as Johnny And Sipho, forming their first band, the sextet Juluka (Zulu for "sweat") in 1976.
		In 1986 Clegg re-emerged fronting a new group, Savuka ("We Have Arisen"), which continued in the direction set out by Juluka and, in the increasingly liberal political climate of South Africa in the late 80s, found it much easier to tour both there and overseas.

	Johnny Clegg Interview
		Johnny Clegg's reputation as one of the foremost South African musicians, if not one of the most important South Africans of his generation, has been won over several decades of struggle and hard work.
		The incorporation of Zulu lyrics into his songs must have frustrated his government as much as it delighted those with minds open enough to appreciate the cultural subtext, and ears open enough to enjoy the rhythmic and powerful music he has created through the years.
		Johnny Clegg: "Yeah, and also there was a WOMAD thing as well."

	Blogcritics.org: Review: Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Edmonton Folk Music Festival, 7 August 2005
		Clegg and his band rocked the festival during the Sunday (Aug 7) 2:00 pm mainstage show, and later in the evening, at the after-festival party.
		For both shows, Johnny and the current version of Savuka played a tight, melodic and joyful show, showcasing many of Juluka and Savuka well-known songs, and mixing in many different dance steps, which I assume were based on Zulu tradition in many cases.
		Clegg and Savuka ("We have risen") are in the midst of an extensive world tour.
