South Africa’s ‘white Zulu’ to stir things up Down Under

Iconic South African “world music” artist Johnny Clegg will be touring Australia and New Zealand in May and June 2009, following his successful series of concerts Down Under four years ago.



Known around the world as “the white Zulu” for his ability to blend Western and African influences in his music, Johnny Clegg has built up a devoted cross-cultural, multilingual following both at home and abroad during his more than three decades as a professional musician.



During his upcoming concert tour, Johnny Clegg will be criss-crossing the Antipodes, playing a variety of venues. While expatriate South Africans are bound to flock to this popular singer-dancer-songwriter’s shows, locals are also encouraged to come and see what all the fuss is about. Chances are they won’t be disappointed, as Clegg and his band are well schooled in how to put on a vibrant show, complete with Zulu dancing, pulsating rhythms and infectious melodies.
