Crossing
One of my favourite musicians, Johnny Clegg, has died. For many South Africans and others worldwide, he was a legend. In France they called him Le Zoulu Blanc (the white Zulu). His life was a remarkable testimony to crossing borders: between diverse cultures, between African and Western music and dance, between village and city. His music always told stories, about our history, racial persecution, African pride, overcoming hardship, soul connection, true love and painful loss. One of his most beautiful songs, Osiyeza, is about crossing to the afterlife. Now this son of Africa son has made his own crossing.
