Following on from the success of the JOHNNY CLEGG BEST, LIVE AND UNPLUGGED Eastern Cape tour (10 sold out shows in 10 days) in May 2014, Johnny Clegg will be returning to the Eastern Cape in December 2015.
DATES:
15th Dec – Boardwalk Festival Lawn, Port Elizabeth
16th Dec – Old Selbornian Club, East London
18th to 21st Dec – The Whitehouse Theatre, Plettenberg Bay
These shows will see Johnny Clegg performing with his band, and will include storytelling by Johnny, where he talks about the events in his life and the world at that time that motivated him to write that song. It is a personal journey, which is uplifting, moving and also humorous at times.
Johnny’s unplugged shows are coming to an end in this series and this will be one of the last opportunities to hear the stories behind the hits in this intimate format.
Do not miss out on this exclusive series of events this December.
Johnny Clegg has wowed audiences with his live shows, including performances with Nelson Mandela, and won a number of national and international awards for his music and for his outspoken views on apartheid and migrant workers in South Africa. He has released two dozen albums.
Johnny Clegg is a dancer, anthropologist, singer, songwriter, academic, activist and recently became a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE). Whilst all of these tags are fitting, none of them can accurately describe the energetic, passionate human being who has become one of South Africa's greatest musical exports. Clegg is an icon of South African music.

22.03.2016 The Carolina Theatre of Durham presents The Johnny Clegg Band

Political strife can inspire great art, and Johnny Clegg’s internationally successful musical career represents that intersection of reality and creativity. The British-born, South African-raised Clegg has spent almost four decades writing and performing songs that reflect the topical and personal turmoil of life in his evolving homeland, pre- and post-apartheid.
Clegg’s new CD, Best, Live & Unplugged at the Baxter Theatre, Cape Town (2014, Appleseed Recordings) showcases many of his most popular, powerful and universal songs. Drawn from the repertoire of his apartheid-defying integrated bands Juluka and Savuka, which built global followings in the ’70s and ’80s, and from Johnny’s subsequent recordings as a solo artist, the September 2013 concert captured here presents these songs in an acoustic setting, although Johnny (vocals, guitar, melodica, concertina) is accompanied by four additional musicians. Clegg’s fusion of Western instrumentation and traditional African rhythms (with some lyrics sung in Zulu) is intimate and infectious on these new arrangements of “Scatterlings of Africa,” “Impi,” “Cruel Crazy Beautiful World” and other Clegg standards. The oldest song on the disc, “Woza Africa,” was originally recorded as a single in 1976 by Juluka. To listen to the CD is discover what influenced Paul Simon’s Graceland.
There is a yearning quality to many of Clegg’s songs, declarations of love, frustration, hope and confusion that can be applied to South Africa’s slow path toward enlightenment, to personal and community relationships, to ever-changing life itself. The CD closes with a solemn but uplifting version of “Asimbonanga,” Clegg’s tribute to the late Nelson Mandela, himself a symbol of triumph over adversity and of the unquenchability of the human spirit.
