Heat, Dust and Dreams

Heat, Dust and Dreams (1993) more music like this

by Johnny Clegg & Savuka

A nice album of pieces, with almost lilting vocals coming from lead singer Johnny Clegg, from time to time almost reminiscent of some mixture of Dylan and Springsteen. The guitar work seems slightly influenced by reggae, which wouldn't be too surprising given the half-South African membership of the group. Overall rather pop-like, but a decently ...

Putumayo Presents: Africa

Putumayo Presents: Africa (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

If you're trying to be comprehensive, putting together a collection of modern African music could be overwhelming. Africa, after all, is a huge continent, and in the 1990s, it offered an incredibly wide variety of music that ranged from exuberant zouk and soukous to moody, jazz-influenced Ethiopian pop and the Middle Eastern-influenced sounds ...

Putumayo Presents the Best of World, Vol. 1: World Vocal

Putumayo Presents the Best of World, Vol. 1: World Vocal (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

A compilation from Putumayo dealing primarily with vocal works, although much of the work is very instrumental as well. Appearing here are multiple stars of different traditions. The great Jorge Ben (famous in the U.S. primarily for "Mas Que Nada," popularized by Sergio Mendes) shows up to sing a song praising soccer great Pele. Miriam Makeba's ...

In My African Dream

In My African Dream (2002) more music like this

by Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Globally, Clegg is probably best recalled for "Scatterlings of Africa," understandably the leadoff track here. If not his manifesto (which was established long before his international fame), it makes his point, the mixing of rock and Zulu music, quite succinctly and wonderfully -- and he was doing it long before it became fashionable (indeed, ...

African Litany

African Litany (1982) more music like this

by Juluka

Juluka's second release with Johnny Clegg, the first album by an integrated rock band in South Africa, went gold in three months. This first single, "Impi," was based on a Zulu war chant and was considered a call to revolution by people in the know. ~ J. Poet, All Music Guide

Best of World Music: African

Best of World Music: African (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

The ethnic-flavored Putumayo clothing chain had long favored in-store soundtracks of light-textured world music. It was natural that CEO Dan Storper should decide to branch out into the music business, and the label is now respected for its genre compilations and single-artist releases and envied for its impressive sales volume. However, in the ...

Scatterlings

Scatterlings (1982) more music like this

by Juluka

A supergroup that defied racial barriers in their South African homeland, Juluka's album Scatterlings was the first introduction to the band for many Americans. Led by lead singer Johnny Clegg, Scatterlings featured Juluka's blend of African and Western rhythms, melodies, and instrumentation. Clegg delivered his self-penned lyrics in a warm voice ...

Shadow Man

Shadow Man (1989) more music like this

by Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Another album from the multicultural/multiracial groups under Johnny Clegg's direction. The melding of South African styles with Western European pop is standard fare for Clegg, but nonetheless it always comes out sounding pretty good. There's a careful blending that doesn't always swing too far in either direction. The only real problem with the ...

One World

One World (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

One World is a charity album for UNICEF and it appropriately features an eclectic mix of artists from all different genres. Rockers like Toni Childs and Peter Gabriel rub shoulders with the Spanish music of Gypsy Kings, the worldbeat of Johnny Clegg and the reggae of Bob Marley. Naturally, such a mixture doesn't result in a coherent album, but it ...

X Marks the Spot

X Marks the Spot (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

X Marks the Spot collects performances from world music performers like Ayub Ogada, Siyakha, and Devon. The collection's track listing emphasizes African and reggae music, as Ghorwane's "Sathuma," Johnny Clegg's "When the System Has Fallen," and Hugh Masekela's "Stimela" illustrate, but Paul Simon's "Proof," UB40's "Sing Our Own Song," and the ...

Mega Africa (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Mega Africa has an expansive 100 tracks spread over four discs. Heavy on what is generally termed "Afro pop," this collection still does a credible job of mixing in divergent styles and rhythms, including tracks by Zap Mama, Césaria Évora, Miriam Makeba, Papa Wemba, Lucky Dube, King Sunny Ade, Johnny Clegg, and many others. ~ Steve Leggett, All ...

Johnny Clegg & Juluka Collection

Johnny Clegg & Juluka Collection (1996) more music like this

by Johnny Clegg

How wonderful to finally be able to refer to apartheid, South Africa's former policy of brutally enforced racial exclusion and oppression, in the past tense! However, it is important to never forget how it was back then, and this album provides a virtual time capsule of an audacious period during the long, bitter battle for equality. In the '70s, ...

Ubuhle Bemvelo

Ubuhle Bemvelo (1982) more music like this

by Juluka

This, Juluka's third recording, is a collection of original Zulu songs. For fans of Juluka's Zulu songs, this is a real treat. For those who dislike songs not sung in English and merely tolerated the Zulu songs on other Juluka or Savuka recordings, your money is best spent elsewhere. This record scores high over much of the group's other work due ...

Universal Men (1979) more music like this

by Juluka

Universal Men, Juluka's 1979 debut album (belatedly released in the U.S. in 1992), was a remarkable document for its time. Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu achieved a canny mixture of Western folk-rock and Zulu chant, creating a pop hybrid like nothing that had been heard before, even if the flute and sax solos of Robbie Jansen, playing against the ...
