Clegg had a unique patchwork1 life. He was born in England to a Lithuanian and (ewish woman. During his childhood, his family moved from England to Zimbabwe to Zambia to South Africa. He took music lessons from a black man and had attend ed six different schools (some bi-racial and some white-only) by the time he was 1J. At 15, he took his singing and dancing to black clubs. It was here that he had Ins eyes opened to the political and cultural problems of South Africa. One could say that his diverse cultural experiences while be was growing up made him who he is today. " The way 1 came to African forms be came a political act by nature of the fact that I wasn’t allowed to do them, to expe rience them.” said Clegg "To me, they were fun things I wanted to be a part of — dancing with Africans at a migrant work ers' hostel, playing with them at night on the roofs where they live and things 1 wasn't allowed to do, because of the apartheid laws."

And so began the musical pilgrim age of Clegg. Formed in 1986. Savuka. which in Zulu means "We have arisen", aptly ex hibits the trials that Clegg and his six member bi-racial band have had to cope with in a country where it is still illegal for blacks and whites to perform together on stage. The knack for walking the fine line be tween musician and social commentator is what bolstered the band to come this far in their musical odyssey. They've released two internationally successful albums and moviegoers might have heard the song "Scatterlings of Afri ca" from their Shadow Man album in the soundtrack of the 19H8 Academy Award winning film Rain Man. Their latest re lease. "Cruel, Crazy. Beautiful World" remained nine weeks on the number one spot on Billboard's top World Music Al bum's chart.
