Music has immense power; while it is both a cultural exploration and celebratory exaltation, music is a tremendous force for social change, justice and holds the power to change history. Our 2010-11 BD&P World Music Series concludes with a man whose music has reached beyond stereos and commercial appeal—and helped change the course of a country and swayed hearts.
Johnny Clegg is a legend in South Africa, famous for both campaigning against apartheid in South Africa and creating internationally successful fusions of traditional Zulu rhythms with western melodies.
Johnny Clegg’s music not only celebrates African culture, it opens a dialogue for political discussion and, perhaps most importantly, is simply fantastic. Selling over 5 million albums with his ground-breaking groups, Juluka and Savuka, for the past 30 years, Clegg’s music and message have made him an international superstar. EPCOR CENTRE welcomes Johnny Clegg for the season finale to our BD&P World Music Series; celebrate, laugh and dance in the aisles—you won’t be able to stay in your seat for this once-in-lifetime concert!
