Johnny Clegg
Jonathan "Johnny" Clegg (born 7 June 1953) is a British-born musician and anthropologist from South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka, and more recently as a solo act, occasionally reuniting with his earlier band partners. Sometimes called ''Le Zoulou Blanc'' ("The White Zulu"), he is an important figure in South African popular music history, with songs that mix Zulu with English lyrics and African with various Western music styles.
==Early life and career==
Clegg was born in Bacup, Lancashire,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JOHNNY CLEGG BIOGRAPHY AND AWARDS )〕 to an English father and a Rhodesian mother. Clegg's mother's family were Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (Poland), and Clegg had a secular Jewish upbringing, learning about the Ten Commandments but refusing to have a ''bar mitzvah'' or even associate with other Jewish children at school.〔''Stars of David: Rock'n'roll's Jewish Stories'' by Scott R. Benarde, pp. 280-83〕 His parents divorced when he was still an infant, and he moved with his mother to Rhodesia, and then at age 6, to South Africa, also spending less than a year in Israel during childhood.〔
As an adolescent, Clegg developed an interest in Celtic music, which led to him learning about and performing Zulu street music and taking part in traditional Zulu dance competitions. He was first arrested at the age of 15 for violating apartheid-era laws in South Africa banning people of different races from congregating together after curfew hours. At the age of 17, he met Sipho Mchunu, a Zulu migrant worker with whom he began performing music.〔 The partnership, which they named Juluka, was profiled in the 1970s television documentary ''Beats of the Heart: Rhythm of Resistance''.〔''Beats of the Heart: Rhythm of Resistance'' (1979), dir. Jeremy Marre〕
As a young man, in the early stages of his musical career, Clegg combined his music with the study of anthropology,〔 a subject which he also taught for a while at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg,〔 where he was influenced, among others, by the work of David Webster, a social anthropologist who was later assassinated in 1989.
