Remembering Johnny Clegg

Published: May 11, 2023, 2:42 p.m.

Johnny Clegg holds a unique place in South Africa\u2019s musical pantheon. From his childhood immersion in Zulu culture, his mastery of Zulu language, dance and guitar playing, some 20 albums with three different bands, his tireless world touring and, finally, his brave public battle with cancer, Clegg was an inspired witness to tumultuous history in South Africa and around the world. Afropop was fortunate to conduct many interviews with the maestro and raconteur over 30 years. In this program, we sample the man\u2019s words and music over a long shape-shifting career. Produced by Banning Eyre in 2020. \n\nAPWW #809
