Jonathan "Johnny" Clegg é um músico britânico, nascido e antropólogo da África do Sul, que já gravou e se apresentou com suas bandas Juluka e Savuka. Às vezes chamado Le Zoulou Blanc ("The White Zulu"), ele é uma figura importante na história da música popular Sul-Africana, com canções que misturam Zulu com letras em inglês e Africano com vários estilos de música ocidental. Clegg nasceu em Bacup, Lancashire, criado no Reino Unido, Israel, a Rodésia (atual Zimbábue), Zâmbia e África do Sul, tornou-se interessado em música de rua Zulu e participou da tradicional dança Zulu competições. Quando jovem, nos primeiros estágios de sua carreira musical, ele combinou a sua música com o estudo da antropologia, um assunto que ele também ensinou durante algum tempo na Universidade de Witwatersrand, em Joanesburgo, onde foi influenciado, entre outros, pelo trabalho de David Webster, um antropólogo social, que foi assassinado em 1989. Clegg passou a formar sua segunda banda inter-racial, Savuka, continuando a misturar música Africano com influências europeias. Nome Savuka é baseado na palavra Zulu para "que têm aumentado" ou "temos despertado". Os álbuns Savuka Shadow Man (que vendeu 250.000 cópias em uma semana após seu lançamento passou a vender mais de um milhão de cópias só na França), e Cruel Crazy Beautiful World tratados temas mais românticos, incluindo "Cruel Louco Beautiful World ", em que um pai dá uma mensagem para seu filho:" Dela ", onde a essência do amor é explorada, e canções politicamente mais focados, como" Warsaw 1943 "e" One (Hu) 'homem, um voto ", que voltar para mensagens políticas. Terceiro Mundo Criança e Shadow Man ocupada primeira e segunda posição, respectivamente, na França e tornou-se a banda estrangeira mais bem sucedido na França e Shadow Man liderou as paradas em Montréal, Québec, Canadá. No auge do sucesso da banda, em 1988, Michael Jackson teve que cancelar seu show em Lyon, na França, quando ele atraiu um público menor do que Johnny Clegg e Savuka. Seu último álbum Heat, Dust and Dreams foi nomeado para um Grammy de melhor álbum na categoria de World Music. [Fonte: wikipedia]
Jonathan "Johnny" Clegg is a British musician, born and anthropologist of South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka. Sometimes called Le Zoulou Blanc ("The White Zulu"), he is an important figure in the history of South African popular music, with songs that mix Zulu with English lyrics, and African with various styles of Western music. Clegg was born in Bacup, Lancashire, created in the UK, Israel, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Zambia and South Africa, became interested in Zulu street music and took part in traditional Zulu dance competitions. As a young man in the early stages of his musical career, he combined his music with the study of anthropology, a subject which he also taught for a time at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, where he was influenced, among others, by the work of David Webster, a social anthropologist, who was assassinated in 1989. Clegg went on to form his second inter-racial band, Savuka, continuing to blend African music with European influences. Name Savuka is based on the Zulu word for "we have risen" or "we have awakened". The Savuka albums Shadow Man (which sold 250,000 copies in a week after its release went on to sell over a million copies in France alone), and Cruel Crazy Beautiful World handled more romantic topics, including "Cruel Crazy Beautiful World", in which a father gives a message to his son, "Dela" where the essence of love is explored, and more politically focused songs, such as "Warsaw 1943" and "One (Hu) 'man one vote" which go back to political messages . Third World Child and Shadow Man occupied first and second position respectively in France and became the most successful foreign band in France and Shadow Man topped the charts in Montréal, Québec, Canada. At the height of the band's success, in 1988, Michael Jackson had to cancel his show in Lyon, France, where he attracted a smaller audience than Johnny Clegg and Savuka. Their last album Heat, Dust and Dreams was nominated for a Grammy Award for best album in the category of World Music. [Source: wikipedia]
