(above) Johnny Clegg—singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist, academic and activist. While each of these labels is fitting, none fully describes the passionate man who is one of South Africa’s greatest musical exports. Mr. Clegg’s infectious crossover music is a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms. This Grammy® nominee and Billboard music award winner’s unforgettable performance will be preceded by a special opening act featuring Mr. Clegg’s son Jesse.
