HUMAN

Over the last three decades, English-born, South African-raised Johnny Clegg has built a worldwide following through his fusion of his adopted homeland's traditional music with contemporary instrumentation and accessible lyrics of personal and political expression. Now Clegg has chosen to release Human. Human builds on Clegg's critically acclaimed, massive-selling success with eleven original songs (and a traditional tune) that epitomize his spirit and intensity through yearningly sung lyrics of love and turmoil conveyed by kinetic modern musicianship with an ever-present South African lilt. This is a sound that was embraced by millions of fascinated fans of Paul Simon's Graceland and Peter Gabriel's "Biko" years after Clegg first mixed the ingredients from an insider's point of view.
