New York, USA –
Eagle Rock Entertainment has released Live! And More, the
first live DVD of
Johnny Clegg with Savuka &
Juluka. It includes

and 4 Juluka Videos.
Johnny
Clegg merged the white, English-speaking culture with the Black, African culture
of South Africa to form South Africa’s first interracial band Juluka. In the
days of apartheid, Juluka encountered their share of problems, including the
banning of their first album by the South African government. After this group
disbanded in the mid-80’s, Clegg formed another band, Savuka, which blended
European pop with African music. Savuka toured North America, opening for Steve
Winwood and George Michael, as well as garnering a Grammy nomination in the Best
World Music Category.
