Bonjour à toutes et tous ; je ne sais pas si Vous êtes comme moi , mais je pense sincèrement que Monsieur Johnny Clegg aurait mérité " le Prix Nobel de la Paix " avec cette chanson si jolie qui traverse les âges sans prendre une seule ride ... Non ?? Prenez soin de Vous et de vos proches en cette période plus que difficile a vivre ou survivre et qui perdure dans le temps … Et jusqu' ' à quand ? Dieu seul le sait … Bisous à toutes et tous … Papy77 et oui ce n' est que moi …
@@damianhoratiu2287 bonjour , je trouve que cette chanson nous file la pêche pour aller au boulot , malgré ce Corona virus qui commence vraiment à m' embêter … Ce chanteur me manque terriblement … Sa voie , son charisme aussi…? Rip grand Chanteur défendeur de l" Afrique … Bonne nuit et bon week-end . Amitiés ...
Plus qu un chanteur, 1 symbole contre la bêtise humaine. Un guerrier pour la paix. Bonne discussion avec Mr Mandela au paradis ou ni couleur ni argent sont maîtres. Merci misters
so very sad to hear news....i have listened to this music from joburg from 1974 till 2006 gave me lots of pleasure...this sends love to all out there in S.A. from everyone in rochdale lancs uk.and elsewhere...all stay strong brothers...stay safe...luv from u.k
Me a 23 year old South African travelling on a train from Luxembourg to Paris in July 1988, French people in the compartment on their way to the Zulu Blanc concert in Paris - special memories 😊
Johnny deserved much more recognition internationally than he received in life -. for his work as a social scientist, music artist, and activist. Thank you,people of France, for doing what the rest of the world should have done.
He did receive an OBE thankfully! He was and always will be one of the most inspiring people I've ever come across. I will never forget the first time I heard this song, and exactly where I was... I was absolutely transfixed! I had never heard anything like it in my life! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the album and I did manage to see him live in London twice. Legend, who deserved the OBE and who will be dancing for joy in heaven now - not for the awards, but for the love he brought in recognising that people are people, and racial bullshit has no place anywhere! ruclips.net/video/WcvRbf5IgNg/видео.html
I saw him at the Colosseum theatre downtown Johannesburg. What a sterling performance. He was more fluent in iSizulu than most Black South Africans. Affectionately, we all called him Zuluka ❤❤❤❤
This is one of the men who held the divided South Africa together. He died too soon, South Africa hasn't yet reached that goal we all prayed for. Nelson Mandela, Johny Clegg, Leon Chuster and PJ Powers are those iconic people in SA who had a way to resolve our differences without any conflict. May his soul rest in peace, I used to listen to this song as a kid, loving it without even knowing the singer.
NOOOOOOOOOO 🥺😥🥺😥🙏🏿✝️🙏🏻 I'VE loved this song since I was a young man. I was about to add this song to a post. I'M SO SO SORRY HE PASSED AWAY. Damn it! Why must we did, Lord? I want really fit the glorified bodies you promise us, where there is no pain, no suffering and no death. 🔥😇🙏🏿✝️🙏🏻😇🔥 m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10224873663447261&id=1184839135
I loved this man and his music. I finally saw him in Australia - one of my best evenings of music. He was such a great entertainer and humanitarian. Vail Johnny Clegg!
My dad bought this cassette back in 1982, I was 4yrs old then but I remember clearly. Later I realised that you chose us when it was not fashionable. Kugida idlozi (you're with our ancestors now rejoicing). Kuyosala izibongo (your name is eternal). Rest well babu uJohnny. Izandla zidlula ikhanda (million thank yous).
I remember those brutal years. What he did was not fashionable, but mighty! It was incredible, soul-stirring, rebellious, important, beautiful, warrior-music. He made a statement, made us proud, lifted our spirits, gave us the determination to plough through bitter years, bitter tears, and made us dance. I love Johnny Clegg, and I am grateful for his contribution to our lives. A mighty one has passed, and I am shocked at the news.
WOW I saw them in Vancouver BC Canada in 1993, and they were absolutely incredible!! I'm not from South Africa, but when I was on a trip to Israel, I met a South African girl who turned me onto Johnny Clegg, and I was hooked for life! I didn't know that he was ill and passed, I am so sorry to hear that. Gd bless South Africa!!!
This was the first song I can remember listening that opened another world to me. I still love the all the US/UK pop and rock, but this song introduced me to sounds, rhythms and harmonies that I had no idea existed. It's one of those comfort songs that just gives me a few moments of joy every time I hear it.
Jonny danced as well as a zulu born warrior man. He contributed a lot in constructing S. Africa as a single and peaceful nation.May his soul rest in peace!
I first heard his music many years ago and I just felt like I had come home. I live in Denmark. But this music really speaks to me. I'm sure I was born in the wrong country.
Max, I often think about the scatterlings of Africa and wonder how many live.with broken hearts ... especially those who had no option. I feel for them. This is not a criticsm just expressing feelings.of sympathy.
He danced how a black man. I think he was the only white man who can danced how a African Zulu. And the African people akcept him for his love to there culture. As i was a Child i heard his songs every evening. Mr Johnny Cleeg RIP I will never forgett you and your wonderfull music.
I can tell you, man! We rejoiced to witness this White Zulu and danced to the beat with pride! Johnny was an important part of my identity and I am so, so sad to hear this news.
RIP Johnny, dear African brother...Thanks for this fabulous song...which has always been so moving to me...since my youth lifetime....tears...and kind of nostalgy...
I just heard the news! Rest in peace, Johnny Clegg! It is no understatement to say your music changed my life. I listened to this as a young boy, and it stirred such feeling of pride in me. You were truly one of us, Johnny, and your music will exist as long as our soulful Motherland. Get some rest, your job is done.
My country. My people. My music. Unless and until you have spent your life in South Africa, you cannot grasp the enormity of both the country, and the people. We are ONE, We live uBuntu!
This song brought me to awareness of what was going on in South Africa. I saw the same hatred there that I have seen in America. It is people like Johnny Clegg that move humanity forward, even if it is only a small step at a time. The world is better for his life...
A unique talent, and great voice for humanity - gone, but never silenced. Peace and safe journey, Johnny - I hope the African rains are falling on the next astral plane.
Ah Johnny I have cried a lot! you were my childhood, you were a great man, a great warrior but now time is come to Rest Great White Zulu, your fight is over. Repose en paix le "Zoulou Blanc"!
bonjour à tous, je suis toujours emue à chaque fois que j'entends les chansons de Johnny Clegg, je les aimes trop car cela me dépayse et me donne une sensation vraiment inéxplicable mais aussi source de motivations
Sorry for your loss. 😢💞 Now I'm curious about your neighbor! What an unusual song for a funeral. Your neighbor must have been a very interesting person! Do tell more, if you like. I'd love to hear it. And for yourself, go find some more Juluka and Savuka if you haven't yet. Woza Friday is another favorite of mine that I just listened to here on youtube. The entire Scatterlings album (that this song is from) is excellent. I had the album, then cassette tape, then CD! Viva Johnny Clegg and your neighbor! ❤💕💞
Le seigneur a donner son prix Nobel sans négociation car il le mérite vraiment j'ai compris beaucoup de choses grâce à lui que je n'imagine même pas quand j'étais Jeune vivant à Madagascar
My field was anthropology, and I was a bit of an Africanist. Years ago I termed this song by one-time anthropologist Johnny Clegg the world's most important lecture on human origins.
linda here. this is emotional and from my home. great loss johnny clegg. i grew up on farm and with the xhosas and know them, they can all sing, and always did without micros. i loved them. they called me wetu, one of us. every member had their nickname. ofcourse there was racism, i couldnt stand it.

" Une idée africaine Une idée africaine Rend le futur limpide Rend le futur limpide Ils sont les dispersés de l'Afrique Tous déracinés Sur la route de Phelamanga Là où le monde a commencé J'aime les dispersés de l'Afrique Chacun d'entre eux Dans leurs coeurs brûle un ardent désir Sous le soleil de cuivre Et nous sommes les dispersés de l'Afrique Aussi bien toi que moi Nous sommes sur la route de Phelamanga Sous un soleil de cuivre Et nous sommes les dispersés de l'Afrique En route pour les étoiles Loin derrière, nous quittons pour toujours Les rêves dont nous étions fait
Un grand homme. Un grand chanteur. Une belle voix. Johny Clegg était aussi et d'abord un professeur d'anthropologie, une discipline qu'il a enseignée dans une grande université de Jo'burg (Johannesburg) en Afrique du Sud. A fondé Savuka ("sueur de boeuf"), Juluka autrefois pour promouvoir la riche culture zoulue avec quelques amis zoulous dont Sipho Mchunu segond lead vocal, et à travers sa musique participer à sa manière à la grande lutte contre l'apartheid. Il a cautionné, soutenu, encouragé la participation de sommités intellectuels et de la culture dont l'écrivain Breyten Breytenbach de son pays à la grande recontre, conférence de Gorée au Sénégal dans les années 80 qui furent capitales dans ce combat contre l'apartheid par des prises de positions et dénonciations hardies contre ce système odieux dans son pays. Clegg a été pleinement initié aux rites et traditions zoulues. Ce qui lui valut le titre de zoulou blanc par ces nombreux admirateurs de par le monde. On retient parmi ces interprétations célébres "Spirit of the journey" ou l'on découvre des sonorités purement zouloues telles que le "mbaqanga", une sorte de guitare acoustique ou solo. Johny clegg et Savuka ont été connus en Afrique de l'ouest grâce à Pierre René Worms du mensuel et magazine "Afrique Élite" des années 80 et à Gilles Obringer de l'émission Canal Tropical de Rfi.
Introduced to this band when my hubby worked at a camp that hosted campers from around the world and one left a tape of this band....we don't hear African music in the states. This song is so beautiful RIP JC
Y’all don’t have an idea what this man meant along with his band Juluka whilst growing as a laitee in the dreadful ‘80’s,great legacy and Rest In Peace White Lion!!!
I was in South Africa when this song was released and an instant hit. I love this song. Johnny was the glue that held Jaluka together. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
I was introduced to this music and fell in love with it early 80s I think 1982 by my uncle who is no longer with us since 2021 a true gentleman very bright and smart ...he use to work in JHB and comes every December with LP's (Long Player Records) with this kind of music including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh ....May His Soul RIP...He was a staunch supporter (Card carrying) of Kaizer Chiefs...Note made on 29/5/2024
I just wish they could revive this kind of music. One of the best groups out of South Africa. Timeless music is still played to this day. Love to hear it played on radio stations
Johnny was planted in the rich soil of Grace on eart, with his Angel duties of peace and love in his soul. At 66 he's ascended back to the Heavens with his job well done. The skies are singing and dancing as sprinkles of star dust of humanity and hope hits us just right encouraging the journey of peace to move on through the storm. ♥️♥️😥
I saw Juluka in Cleveland Ohio during their first US tour. It was an amazing experience to be introduced to the music of South Africa by a white Englishmen raised in Africa. I now have a great love for all music coming from all of the African continent as well as the hybridizations coming from Europe. Thanks to Johnny for introducing me, an African American, one of the “Scatterlings of Africa” to the music of the motherland.
MYSELF AND MERVYN FULLER IN FRONT OF JALUKA ON THE FIELD AT KINGS PARK DURBAN AROUND 1979,,,,I TURNED AROUND TO SEE A FULL HOUSE IF MAINLY ZULU,S SWAYING IN TIME ....FOND MEMORIES ,R I P JOHNNY AND MERVYN !
Thanks for everything, Johnny Clegg. You will always be a hero to me. A weaver who showed people everything they have in common. And how enriching different cultures can be when they unite. Undermining the very idea of apartheid with your music. Thoughts and prayers from Sweden.🇸🇪❤️🇿🇦
I bought the cassette tape after hearing this song on the radio in 1980-something, in my early teens....funny how you just need a couple of seconds and then you can remember the lyrics like yesterday....
When I lived in South Africa in the '80s my good friend would only play Juluka in his car. When I asked him why, he said, 'It keeps those bloody racists out of my car.'
@@garystirrup8451lol How are those rose-tinted glasses of yours coming on? I knew plenty of racists in Welkom and Cape Town who hated Jaluka and thought that Clegg was a race traitor. You do realise that apartheid was based on racism and hate and heavily endorsed by the majority of whites?
@@garystirrup8451You have rose-tinted spectacles. Racism was alive and well in apartheid South Africa and I knew many in Welkom and Cape Town who hated Johnny Clegg as a race traitor.
RIP Johnny Glegg....you were such a fantastic human being...we should all strive to have the mindset you had...your music and dance will always be remembered!

Ok avec tout...sauf France de merde
He was successful in what he wanted to achieve...otherwise, people like me wouldn't know about this groundbreaking music.
Well I grew up in the 80’s in Australia listening to Juluka so he was known world wide. A great man sadly gone now.
I saw him at the Colosseum theatre downtown Johannesburg. What a sterling performance. He was more fluent in iSizulu than most Black South Africans. Affectionately, we all called him Zuluka ❤❤❤❤

Le soleil de cuivre se couche
Dispersés et fugitifs
Aux paupières tombantes et aux fronts las
Cherchent un refuge dans la nuit
Ils sont les dispersés de l'Afrique
Tous déracinés
Sur la route de Phelamanga
Là où le monde a commencé
J'aime les dispersés de l'Afrique
Chacun d'entre eux
Dans leurs coeurs brûle un ardent désir
Sous le soleil de cuivre
Des vieux os de Olduvai
Font écho aux tous premiers pleurs
"Qui m'a fait naître ici et pourquoi
Sous le soleil de cuivre ? "
Une idée africaine
Une idée africaine
Rend le futur limpide
Rend le futur limpide
Ils sont les dispersés de l'Afrique
Tous déracinés
Sur la route de Phelamanga
Là où le monde a commencé
J'aime les dispersés de l'Afrique
Chacun d'entre eux
Dans leurs coeurs brûle un ardent désir
Sous le soleil de cuivre
Et nous sommes les dispersés de l'Afrique
Aussi bien toi que moi
Nous sommes sur la route de Phelamanga
Sous un soleil de cuivre
Et nous sommes les dispersés de l'Afrique
En route pour les étoiles
Loin derrière, nous quittons pour toujours
Les rêves dont nous étions fait
A beautiful tribute, C.

I was introduced to this music and fell in love with it early 80s I think 1982 by my uncle who is no longer with us since 2021 a true gentleman very bright and smart ...he use to work in JHB and comes every December with LP's (Long Player Records) with this kind of music including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh ....May His Soul RIP...He was a staunch supporter (Card carrying) of Kaizer Chiefs...Note made on 29/5/2024

Johnny was planted in the rich soil of Grace on eart, with his Angel duties of peace and love in his soul. At 66 he's ascended back to the Heavens with his job well done. The skies are singing and dancing as sprinkles of star dust of humanity and hope hits us just right encouraging the journey of peace to move on through the storm. ♥️♥️😥
Rest in Peace Zulu.
I came here because i already miss him. What a great loss to South Africa. Your legacy will live on White Zulu, hamba kahle.
Was für ein wunderschönes Lied und für ein toller Mensch. Johnny RIP
I saw Juluka in Cleveland Ohio during their first US tour. It was an amazing experience to be introduced to the music of South Africa by a white Englishmen raised in Africa. I now have a great love for all music coming from all of the African continent as well as the hybridizations coming from Europe. Thanks to Johnny for introducing me, an African American, one of the “Scatterlings of Africa” to the music of the motherland.
I am South African Zulu and it's amazing how he could do the traditional Zulu dance. I get goosebumps just watching them RIP Johnny

Thanks for everything, Johnny Clegg. You will always be a hero to me. A weaver who showed people everything they have in common. And how enriching different cultures can be when they unite. Undermining the very idea of apartheid with your music.
Thoughts and prayers from Sweden.🇸🇪❤️🇿🇦
All of Us with Red Dirt in Our veins understand and miss You Johnny! 💔
Johnny Clegg & Juluka.

RIP Johnny we will miss you in real life but your Legend will live on forever
I bought the cassette tape after hearing this song on the radio in 1980-something, in my early teens....funny how you just need a couple of seconds and then you can remember the lyrics like yesterday....
We miss you
When I lived in South Africa in the '80s my good friend would only play Juluka in his car. When I asked him why, he said, 'It keeps those bloody racists out of my car.'
he was wrong - everyone loved johnny black and white - a real south african icon
@@garystirrup8451lol How are those rose-tinted glasses of yours coming on? I knew plenty of racists in Welkom and Cape Town who hated Jaluka and thought that Clegg was a race traitor.
You do realise that apartheid was based on racism and hate and heavily endorsed by the majority of whites?
@@garystirrup8451You have rose-tinted spectacles. Racism was alive and well in apartheid South Africa and I knew many in Welkom and Cape Town who hated Johnny Clegg as a race traitor.
Every country in africa has a town called soweto
RIP Johnny Glegg....you were such a fantastic human being...we should all strive to have the mindset you had...your music and dance will always be remembered!
