Johnny Clegg returns to Auckland on his third tour Down Under, this time to launch his latest album Human.
As an icon of South Africa, he continues to draw on various styles and genres of music. His creativity lies in his in-depth understanding of traditional Zulu rhythm and the dance routines which are a feature of the show.
The opening track of Human, 'Love in the time of Gaza' meshes the aforementioned Zulu rhythm template with an arrangement that could have easily have worked in a Mercury-era of “Tears for Fears” released to chronicle his quest for optimism in the ongoing unrest that has plagued the nations of Israel and Palestine since the Biblical days.
The show will include his greatest hits such as Impi, Scatterlings of Africa, African Sky Blue, I Call your Name and many well-known favourites that pack his ninety minute performance.
