--:--

You know the name but you've never heard his story told quite this way. Ahead of the Johannesburg leg of his Final Journey world tour, Johnny Clegg sits down with Gareth to highlight some of the stories from his 40+ years in the music industry, beginning with how his character was shaped and his personality emancipated by falling in love with the Zulu culture as a young man. Hear how his jazz singer mother and stepfather who left when he was 14 impacted him, as well as how he's been touring since 1983. And hear Johnny detail one of his all-time favourite moments: performing 'Asimbonanga' with Nelson Mandela on stage.
