Rob Tobias pays tribute to South African Musician Johnny Clegg who passed away recently at the age of 66. He formed two bands, Juluka and Savuka and also performed under his own name. Lyrics to his songs were often bilingual in English and Zulu and his bands wrote several politically charged songs, particularly related to apartheid. He embodied the fighting spirit and vision required to transcend into a better future for all. Leading from the front, he has shown how social barriers and prejudices can be broken with his music and in doing so, has instilled an awareness of other cultures while truly creating a meaningful change.
