Jonathan (Johnny) Clegg, born June 7, 1953 in Rochdale near Manchester, (UK), is a popular musician from South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka. Sometimes called "The White Zulu", he is an important figure in South African popular music history, with songs that mix Zulu and English lyrics, and African / European / Celtic music styles. Already in his youth, Johnny Clegg, a white, English-speaking person with what he called a "secular Jewish" upbringing in the UK, Israel, Zimbabwe and South Africa, became interested in Zulu street music and took part in traditional Zulu dance competitions.
