After nearly 40 years Johnny Clegg\u00a0set the international music scene on fire, he is about to repeat history in our city.<\/p>\n

Bringing his unique Western\/South African hybrid rhythms to life at the\u00a0Dubai Opera\u00a0as part of his final world tour, titled \u2018The Final Journey\u2019, he will be in Dubai just for a night, on September 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tour represents the peak of a career that has combined international success with sustained \u2013 and significant \u2013 social, political and cultural impact\u00a0<\/h3>\n

What makes him so unique is that he pioneered a uniquely South African, hybrid music during a time of cultural and racial segregation helping break down barriers offering a possibility of a non-racial future.<\/p>\n

“This will be my final set of public performances for my fans in SA and around the world. I am immensely excited to be able to bring to them an autobiographical, audiovisual and intimate account of my life through my music and The Dance. “<\/p>\n
