Think boat-shoe-wearing Vampire Weekend was the first musical enterprise to imagine a combination of Western pop and traditional African vibrations? Not even close. Johnny Clegg, billed as "one of South Africa's most celebrated sons," is headed to Tacoma, bringing his guitar, career full of hits and genre-bending style with him. The songster behind "Great Heart," "I Call Your Name," "Scatterlings of Africa," "Take My Heart Away" and more, Clegg comes to the Rialto under the umbrella of his Spirit is the Journey 30th Anniversary Concert.
