Sense Of Place, South Africa: Johnny Clegg

Johnny Clegg on World Cafe
Hear a live performance from the late visionary musician, recorded in Johannesburg.

The visionary musician was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years ago, and spent the latter part of 2017 on a world tour he called "The Final Journey."
