@JOHNY CLEGG...Johnny Clegg was a South African musician, singer-songwriter, dancer, anthropologist, and anti-apartheid activist. He was born on June 7, 1953, in Bacup, England, but grew up in South Africa, where he immersed himself in Zulu culture and music2. Clegg formed the band Juluka in 1979 with Sipho Mchunu, breaking racial barriers during apartheid by blending Zulu maskandi music with Western rock2. Later, he founded Savuka in 1986, further refining his fusion of African and international sounds2. His music carried strong political and social messages, making him a prominent voice against apartheid2. Some of his most famous songs include "Impi," "Scatterlings of Africa," and "Asimbonanga", the latter being a tribute to Nelson Mandela2. His work earned him global recognition, and he performed for world leaders, including Mandela2.
