Johnny Clegg returns to Auckland on his third tour Down Under, this time to launch his latest album Human.
As an icon of South Africa, he continues to draw on various styles and genres of music. His creativity lies in his in-depth understanding of traditional Zulu rhythm and the dance routines which are a feature of the show.
The opening track of Human, 'Love in the time of Gaza' meshes the aforementioned Zulu rhythm template with an arrangement that could have easily have worked in a Mercury-era of “Tears for Fears” released to chronicle his quest for optimism in the ongoing unrest that has plagued the nations of Israel and Palestine since the Biblical days.
The show will include his greatest hits such as Impi, Scatterlings of Africa, African Sky Blue, I Call your Name and many well-known favourites that pack his ninety minute performance.

Recently awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the Witwatersrand for his contribution to music, Johnny, a former Grammy nominee and Billboard music award winner, still tours regularly, both at home and abroad, with dates pegged for 2011 in Europe and north America.

08.07.2012 Mariposa-in-Concert, Orilla (CA)
Mariposa Folk Foundation presents great artists in concert throughout the year. Visit this page often for exciting concert announcements. http://www.mariposafolk.com
The influence of this internationally-acclaimed artist transcends his joyful fusion of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms. Musical activism has made Johnny Clegg one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons, and an inspiration around the world. During apartheid-era South Africa, when it was illegal for his seminal mixed-race band, Jaluka, to perform in public, his first album became a word-of-mouth, underground hit. Political in their music, Johnny Clegg and his band mates were arrested several times, and their concerts were routinely broken up. Jaluka later became an international success with two platinum and five gold albums. After Jaluka, Johnny Clegg went on to form his second inter-racial band, Savuka. It too earned a huge international audience, and once even overshadowed and forced the cancellation of a performance by superstar Michael Jackson in Lyon, France. Johnny Clegg has performed in all of Nelson Mandela’s Aids Awareness Concerts. Mandela even joined him on stage during a rendition of Asimbonanga, a song he wrote about Mandela and other struggle heroes. During an impressive and storied career spanning more than three decades, Johnny Clegg has issued 21 studio albums, 5 live albums and 3 DVDs. His music is lively, spirited and stirring, and is guaranteed to bring Mariposa’s audience to its feet.
