Anyone ever come across these guys?
It´s the band of Johnny Clegg, a white African who fell in love with the native music of Africa at a time when such an inter-racial enthusiasm was frowned upon. So, a very worthy guy who played his small part in the move towards integration. Today, though, especially when I hear some of his songs with English-language lyrics, it doesn´t feel as genuine as the material in FPK´s favourites thread, for instance. Any opinions?
