Johnny Clegg was a British-born South African musician and anthropologist known for blending Western pop with Zulu rhythms. Often called the 'White Zulu,' he formed the bands Juluka and later Savuka, achieving international fame. His music and activism played a significant role in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, bridging cultural divides through his art.

Clegg's songwriting frequently delved into themes of emotional yearning and the search for romantic connection, often capturing the complexities of love and longing. His lyrics, infused with a sense of fear of unreturned love, resonated deeply with audiences, making his work both deeply personal and universally relatable.
