I grew up with your music mister Johnny CLEGG. Back then when I lived in Congo I watched first white man in TV who danced and sang like black man. I understood your message few years later. Now I proud to be an african thanks to men like you. Rest in peace white Zulu.
Oui assez fou mais naturel et sincère et à l'instar d'un John Lennon (imagine ) il aura semé quelques graines de joie dans nos têtes à l'écoute de très belles chansons, qui pour le coup seront éternelles, comme lui quoi ! So long Jonathan ! so long !
Je n'ai jamais arrêter de pleurer mon chere Johnny gleeg. J'aime la musique d'où qu'elle vienne mais cette chanson est le seule qui réussit à me plonger dans la fierté des temps immémoriaux de ma terre africaine et qui me donne de l'espoir pour les générations futures. Oh Johnny va en paix je t'aimerai toujours homme de paix et de grandes valeurs ❤ Respects depuis ma chère côte d'ivoire 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
I was about seven or eight when this song was out. I once tried to do that high kick and kicked myself in the face... I cried. My cousin was cracking up laughing.
As soon as I heard The news of your Death,This song has been on repeat..You Sir were the Greatest Ambassador of South African Music..Your Music shall live forever on..Rest In Peace
Wish I knew of Johnny Clegg sooner as a Young South African. Use to hear his music growing up but never knew what great man he was. Rest is peace legend.
All south africans need to unite even more now. It's like when Mandela passed. They're just beacons showing us the way but the love is in all of us. Be kind to your fellow human.
Was introduced to Johnny by my dad whilst growing up. He told me that it's real music and i should be listening to such. I lost my dad in 2001 and a year later i came across Johnny Clegg's anthology album in a shop and i bought it, took it home and spent the entire afternoon listening to it. The songs sounded new to me and it has been on my playlist since. Thanks Johnny, its people like you that makes this cruel crazy beautiful world a better place to live in. with love from Papua New Guinea...
A proper harvest of the Zulu Tribe. Siyabonga Dokotela Sipho Mchunu for shaping this Comrade of ours to be what he ultimately became. Siyayazi leNsizwa, sikhule ngayo. Ibizithanda izinsizwa zakwaZulu. We have lived your life with you through you Musical outputs. Siyabonga Skeyi jikeleshobeni. Siyabonga Mlungu wami. uphumule ngoxolo.
On every road trip I ever go on, I sing along to all of Johnny Clegg's songs. So much so, that all my friends now know Impi's lyrics off-by-heart. Rest in Peace. Your music will live forever.
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊Sir Uncle Johnny Clegg, i considered you as my uncle because i have the same empathy over the people who want to live without hate, misery and war. But life is life as we say... Thank you for many things that you have done (in your level). Welcome to Paradise🤗🌅🏳️🕊️
Yes crazy enough to think that songs can contribute to change mentalities, but natural and sincere and like a John Lennon (imagine) he will have sown some seeds of joy in our heads to listen to very beautiful songs, who will be eternal, like him! Goodbye Jonathan! Goodbye ! From France
Salut mon ami. Moi aussi je vis en Afrique, où mon père est né et je suis blanc ; tu étais un humaniste et un visionnaire. tu resteras longtemps dans nos mémoires
This song and video says it all, he was one of us, in flesh and blood. Living in South Africa in the 80s and early 90s Johnny was an unusual phenomenon in apartheid era South Africa. I remember thinking, "Who is this white guy dressed,dancing and singing like a Zulu. RIP Son and brother of Africa.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I can smell the sunday meals from my Grandma's kitchen. Oh, good comforting memories of unconditional love and all round togetherness even in those days. One Love For Africa.
He showed us tht we can't or shouldn't judge someone based on a chemical in their skin (melanin) or be prejudice. He was legendary this man. Thank you Clegg Robala boroko bo bogolo.
This song never gets old for me. Love all Johnny Clegg's music. Once in a lifetime musician and all-round great human being. Will be missed and never forgotten. Lots of love to his family and extended family & band members!
Heart just broken learning Johnny Clegg passed today. Lord I wish we still had MTV. Scatterlings appeared in Rain Man which spotlighted the song on the soundtrack. RIP. Dance again with Madiba. 🇻🇺
As all our legends pass, I become more and more sentimental. For a time where we were truly one. Even if it was just briefly. I cry for the beloved country. In fact, I can't see through the tears. God bless Africa. Goodbye, South Africa.
Johnny Clegg was in Mauritius in October 2018 and his concert was unique! I'm watching it on TV and wow he's wonderful le zulu blanc. Long live Africa!
Just heard the news that Johnny passed away. This first thought was to come listen to one of favourite songs ever. Rest in peace white Zulu. You will be missed😢😢😢
Rest in peace great man..our country needed more men like who celebrated our differences instead of vilifying it. Condolences to his family for this great loss.
All I can remember is that my parents adored his and the Juluka Music... down the memory lane when I was in the Primary School... sometime in the late 80’s! Rest in perfect peace our brother! Mr Clegg.
Black and white, side by side on my piano : Michael & Paul. Powerful dancing, meaningful words, nice harmonics ! I'm Irish : born in Connemara. I grew with the songs from U2. But as soon it comes to music : Africa, Jamaica . . . Only one things matters : the Groove. Bob Marley, Johnny Clegg I just want to tell you : "Thank you for the music" as used to sing two Swedish ladies : Agnetha & Frida.
Wow. I remember being like a 4 year old. My grandfather liked listening to this song while he was working on his car engin. So weird how you can link a song to a random memory of a loved one who has passed.
So gifted and he made beautiful music about Africa. His music should be celebrated and used in movies. He made music that was unique with a lot meaning❤❤🙏🙏😢😪
