Interview: "White father of African rock marks anniversary"


In this photo of Wednesday Nov. 3, 2010 South African musician Johnny Clegg looks on during an interview with the Associated Press at his house in Johannesburg, South Africa. Clegg, later dubbed the "white Zulu," was sure his song's message would be lost. At the time, his new genre of music, a blend of Western pop and Zulu rhythms, was banned from the radio _ as Mandela's photo was banned from newspapers. Clegg's concerts were routinely broken up, and he and other members of his multiracial band had been arrested several times for challenging a South African law meant to keep whites and blacks apart.

J.C. Wits Interview 2008

Earlier this year [2008] Wits [University] honoured Johnny Clegg
with an honorary doctorate in music. “It was a
wonderful moment for me,” says Clegg. “The
great irony for me is I don’t read a note of music!
My music comes to me like it does to many
Africans, through ear and feeling.”
