Musa Ukungilandela – Juluka, 1984

,


Before Savuka, there was Juluka. The young Johnny Clegg formed this first band with Sipho Mchunu in 1969 in Johannesburg. They were already mixing Zulu and pop/rock cultures in a register that was, however, less commercial than Savuka later became. Musa Ukungilandela was released in 1984 on the French label Celluloid, and was the group’s last studio album. The following year, Mchunu returned to his Zulu roots, herding cattle.
