Savuka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Savuka was a band formed by English-born South African Johnny Clegg after the disbanding of his first band, Juluka. Both of his bands were inter-racial. Savuka followed more of a Western pop rock style blended with Clegg's familiar, distinctive Zulu musical stylings, creating a unique sound that was something of a major departure from the old, more traditional Zulu sound of Juluka. Some better-known Savuka songs include "Asimbonanga", "Third World Child", "The Crossing", "Dela", and "Cruel Crazy Beautiful World". Savuka released five studio albums: Third World Child, Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World", "Heat, Dust And Dreams", "Shadow Man", and "In My African Dream" (the latter being more of a best-of compilation, but still including a few previously unreleased tracks).
