I'm interested in #zulu because of #johnnyclegg The White Zulu
I was fond of him when I was young
If you know about him, almost sure part of his songs are in Zulu, "Asimbonanga" & "Scatterlings of Africa"
Salif Keita sings my prefered african song Anananmin, in a language... maybe #bambara

Echoes of the very first cry
‘Who made me, here and why? --
Beneath this copper sun.’

En 1988, le camp du Bien avait interdit à #JohnnyClegg de chanter lors du concert de #Wembley contre l' #apartheid.
A gauche, on n'est pas antisémite ou raciste, on est juste con comme un balai.

Currently reading Johnny Glegg's autobiography "Scatterling of Africa, My Early Years" (2021). He was such a beautiful person and soul.

....besides which, I've been a #JohnnyClegg fan for decades. His whole musical career was based on flouting the censorship in SA and incorporating Zulu lyrics and music in his work. His push for #Mandela to be freed may have helped; Madiba sure thought so!

Dear South African Twitter (cc @Cthulhucachoo & anyone else...?)
In the past I've looked for books discussing Juluka, Savuka & #JohnnyClegg in the context of the struggle against apartheid + broader SA music scene & come up empty - but I'm in Chicago. Any titles to recommend?

Got an amazing seat for tonight's concert. #LadysmithBlackMambazo & #JohnnyClegg at @EJThomasHall http://t.co/vPc0AfIyV5
Thot earlier that I may be the only 1 who sees "#Clegg" &thinks "#JohnnyClegg" Now I think I'm only 1 who sees "Puck" &thinks "Real World."
Am I the only American who, when she sees the name "#Clegg," still thinks "#JohnnyClegg"? #Juluka? Anybody? http://bit.ly/agQfVA // Ok then.
