About

Johnny Clegg Band

South Africa�s Johnny Clegg was instrumental in the fight against apartheid: his 1970s band Juluka, which combined Zulu chants and rhythms with western rock music, was also the conflict-ridden country�s first mixed-race ensemble. It represented a call for social justice that was also musically groundbreaking. Clegg parted ways with his Zulu co-founder, Sipho Mchunu, and went on to found Savuka (a Zulu word for �we have awakened�) in 1986. Selling millions of records and touring the world, Clegg�s new band further galvanized support for a freer South Africa via songs that hailed Nelson Mandela (then still jailed) or demanded �One Human One Vote.� Recently, Clegg reunited with Sipho for a tour and recording session. His newest version of Savuka offers his classic protest anthems alongside hip-hop-meets-Zulu dance numbers and other influences such as reggae. Don�t miss out this time on hearing one of the world�s most exciting and passionate bands playing the music of Juluka and Savuka!
