JOHNNY CLEGG - CELEBRATING 30 YEARS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
For one night only, Johnny Clegg will perform with Juluka to celebrate his 30th anniversary in the music industry, with a once-off concert at the Grand Arena at the GrandWest casino in Cape Town on 27th August 2011. Proudly brought to you by Castle Lager Homegrown. The original Juluka band will be reunited for this show only, performing the hit songs of Juluka and Johnny Clegg spanning his 30 year career.
During the three decades he’s been making anthemic hits, Johnny has proved himself to be an outstanding musical ambassador for his country.
The show will feature dancers and audio visual footage starting from Johnny’s early years to present day. This will be the first time that Juluka will be seen in Cape Town since their concert at the Good Hope Centre 26 years ago.
“What makes this relationship between Castle Lager, Johnny Clegg and Juluka remarkable is the fact that they are both iconic South African brands. Many of our best memories and moments are of watching Johnny Clegg and Juluka entertain us with proudly homegrown tunes with a Castle Lager in hand, “ said Alastair Hewitt, General Manager of Castle Lager.
By bringing together African music structures with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds, Johnny pioneered a new and unique sound, establishing himself as South Africa’s biggest musical export. From Europe to the States, from Australia to Potchefstroom, audiences in sold out venues have danced to “Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World”, “Crocodile Love”, “I Call Your Name”, “Take My Heart Away”, and “African Sky Blue”.
Johnny Clegg is known for his energetic stage performances and this is a show not to be missed. It all comes together with a Castle.
