One Life - our 100th post
posted by Kerry-Anne
Last night we spent an incredible 2 hours listening to Johnny Clegg and his band playing live at the Convention Centre, as part of his One Life tour. Paul managed to sneak this shot with his cellphone, from our excellent seats in the 4th row. :)Johnny Clegg is often called the "White Zulu", and if you see him dancing, you'll understand why. He has the most incredible energy on stage, and his performance is even more impressive when you realise that he's just turned 54! Most of his songs are a mixture of Zulu and English, although last night he sang us his very first Afrikaans/Zulu song too. Seeing young people of all races dancing together in the aisles to his legendary songs made me realise once again that despite our different cultures and skin-colours, all of us who call this country home have something in common: Africa is in our blood.
I know that Johnny has performed in Europe and North America as well - have any of you been fortunate enough to go to one of his concerts?

And many happy returns to your blog!
Come and say Happy Birthday to The Queen in Sydney! http://sydneynearlydailyphot.blogspot.com/
Congratulations. I think we must have hit 100 on the same day.
Baby raccoons. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Johnny Clegg! I'm quite jealous...Do you understand Zulu? And Bravo, Bravo for your 100th post! I'm waiting for many other ones.
Thanks for the wishes! Seems we'll be celebrating our 1-year blogiversary in no time at all.
Alice, no, we don't understand Zulu, unfortunately. I'd like to learn Xhosa (I learnt a little of it at school when I was about 10, but can't remember very much at all) - it's more widely spoken in the Cape area.
Congrats for the 100th post! This shot is surprisingly good for a shot taken with a cell phone, well done!
Congrats on your 100th post! Johnny Clegg - I love his music and would have loved to be at the concert! Next time.
